How large is the periablational zone after radiofrequency and microwave ablation? Computer-based comparative study of two currently used clinical devices

Purpose To compare the size of the coagulation (CZ) and periablational (PZ) zones created with two commercially available devices in clinical use for radiofrequency (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA), respectively. Methods Computer models were used to simulate RFA with a 3-cm Cool-tip applicator and...
