Optimization and characterization of a novel internally-cooled radiofrequency ablation system with optimized pulsing algorithm in an ex-vivo bovine liver
Purpose: To prospectively characterize and optimize radiofrequency energy deposition to determine ideal parameters for achieving large ablation zones. Materials and methods: An internally-cooled RF system was used to perform 214 ablations in 72 ex-vivo bovine livers. Tip exposure (1–5 cm), electrode...
