Computer-assisted needle trajectory planning and mathematical modeling for liver tumor thermal ablation: A review

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) have become an important means for treating liver tumors. RFA and MWA are a minimally invasive therapy which involves an ablation applicator or needle (i.e., radiofrequency electrode or microwave antenna) inserted percutaneously into a tumor...
