dc.description.abstract | Microwave thermal ablation is under investigation
for minimally invasive treatments. In the cases of small targets,
such as adrenal glands, microwave thermal ablation is a valuable
alternative to the traditional and more invasive treatments (e.g.
surgical procedures, pharmaceutical therapies). In this work,
ablation treatments are carried out on ex-vivo liver samples using
a custom developed microwave ablation applicator for ablation of
small targets. Ablation zones achieved with different treatment
settings are analysed. The power and time settings suitable to
achieve a small and well controlled ablation zone, are evaluated.
Moreover, the temperature increase in different regions of the
area under treatment is assessed. | en_IE |
