Abstract: Thermal ablation of a solid tumor in a tissue with radio-frequency (rf) energy can be accomplished by using a probe inserted into the tissue under the guidance of magnetic resonance imaging. ...

Abstract: Light energy from a laser source that is delivered into body tissue via a fiber-optic probe with minimal invasiveness has been used to ablate solid tumors. This thermal coagulation process can ...

Abstract: For a spatially distributed model describing the transient temperature response of a thermistor-tissue system, Wei et al., [J. Biomech. Eng., 117:74–85, 1995] obtained an approximate transformation ...
