Radiofrequency ablation for liver tumors abutting complex blood vessel structures: treatment protocol optimization using response surface method and computer modeling

Objective To achieve a result of a large tumor ablation volume with minimal thermal damage to the surrounding blood vessels by designing a few clinically-adjustable operating parameters in radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for liver tumors abutting complex vascular structures.Methods Response surface me...
