Abstract Introduction Laser Interstitial Thermotherapy (LITT; also known as Stereotactic
Laser Ablation or SLA), is a minimally invasive treatment modality that has recently gained …

PURPOSE: To determine, by decreasing hepatic perfusion during radiofrequency (RF)
ablation, whether perfusion-mediated tissue cooling can explain the reduced coagulation …

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency (RF)‐induced tissue coagulation represents a new
approach for the thermal destruction of tumors within the liver. The purpose of the current …
