Simulation study of the cooling effect of blood vessels and blood coagulation in hepatic radio-frequency ablation
Purpose Computer simulations of hepatic radio-frequency ablation (RFA) were performed to: (i) determine the dependence of the vessel wall heat transfer coefficient on geometrical parameters; (ii) study the conditions required for the occurrence of the directional effect of blood; and (iii) classify...
