Ultrasound single-phase CBE imaging for monitoring radiofrequency ablation of the liver tumor: A preliminary clinical validation

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an alternative treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The production of gas bubbles by RFA indicates threshold temperature of tissue necrosis and results in changes in backscattered energy (CBE) when ultrasound monitors RFA. In this study, ultrasou...
