A Comparative Modeling Study of Thermal Mitigation Strategies in Irreversible Electroporation Treatments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Irreversible electroporation (IRE), also referred to as nonthermal pulsed field ablation (PFA), is an attractive focal ablation modality for solid tumors and cardiac tissue due to its ability to destroy aberrant cells with ...
An Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Phase Change Electrodes for Therapeutic Irreversible Electroporation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a new technology for ablating aberrant tissue that utilizes pulsed electric fields (PEFs) to kill cells by destabilizing their plasma membrane. When treatments are planned correctly, ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Parameters Affecting High-Frequency Irreversible Electroporation for Prostate Cancer Ablation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While the primary goal of focal therapy for prostate cancer (PCa) is conserving patient quality of life by reducing oncological burden, available modalities use thermal energy or whole-gland radiation which can damage ...
