Radiofrequency ablation with four electrodes as a building block for matrix radiofrequency ablation: Ex vivo liver experiments and finite element method modelling. Influence of electric and activation mode on coagulation size and geometry

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasingly being used to treat unresectable liver tumors. Complete ablation of the tumor and a safety margin is necessary to prevent local recurrence. With current electrodes, size and shape of the ablation zone are highly variable leading to unsatisfactory local r...
