Evaluation of tissue deformation during radiofrequency and microwave ablation procedures: Influence of output energy delivery

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze tissue deformation during radiofrequency (RF) and microwave ablation for varying output energy levels. Methods A total of 46 fiducial markers which were classified into outer, middle, and inner lines were positioned into a single plane around an RF or microwave ablation applicator in each ex vivo bovine liver sample (8 cm × 6 cm × 4 cm, n = 18). Radiofrequency (500 kHz; ~35 W average) or microwave (2.4 GHz; 50–100 W output, ~35–70 W delivered) abl… Show more

While the technical characteristics of RFA and MWA are quite similar, they exhibit several differences in their physical mechanisms of thermogenesis [22][23][24]. The significant difference is that during RFA, heat is confined to zones of high current density, while during MWA, it is generated in a fixed space around the antenna applicator.…”

“…The proposed simulation model showed a good agreement of the temperature and contraction-induced displacement with the experimental in vitro results. More recently, (Liu and Brace, 2019) reported an experimental study on bovine liver to quantitatively analyze the tissue deformation during RFA and MWA. It was reported that the tissue dimensions contracted by 5% post RFA and 20-65% post MWA procedures.…”

“…MWA has some potential advantages over RFA including faster ablations, higher temperature which is not limited by electric impedance, less sensitivity to tissue types with more consistent results, relatively insensitivity to “heat sinks,” and ability to create much larger ablation zones. For lesions larger than 3 cm, particularly those over 5 cm, MWA is significantly better than RFA 18‐22 . Furthermore, multiple MWA antennas can be positioned into target lesions and activated simultaneously, which maximizes nearly spherical ablation zone 23 .…”

[18][19][20][21][22] Furthermore, multiple MWA antennas can be positioned into target lesions and activated simultaneously, which maximizes nearly spherical ablation zone. 23 Lung ablation zone was reported as large as 54.8 ± 8.5 mm (mean ± SD) in animal studies.…”
