Experimental Evaluation of the Heat Sink Effect in Hepatic Microwave Ablation

PURPOSE: To demonstrate and quantify the heat sink effect in hepatic microwave ablation (MWA) in a standardized ex vivo model, and to analyze the influence of vessel distance and blood flow on lesion volume and shape. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 108 ex vivo MWA procedures were performed in freshly harves...
