This work aims to study the shrinkage phenomenon that occurs in the biological tissue treated with a Microwave Thermal Ablation procedure, in correlation with the induced temperature increase. An experimental set up is used to evaluate under real-time CT control the displacement of fiducial markers placed into thermally ablated specimens of ex vivo bovine liver tissue. Fibre-optic sensors are used to measure the tissue temperature during the procedure. A correlation in the kinetic of the two processes, i.e. tissue shrinkage and temperature increase, was observed.

Abstract
This work aims to study the shrinkage phenomenon that occurs in the biological tissue treated with a Microwave Thermal Ablation procedure, in correlation with the induced temperature increase. An experimental set up is used to evaluate under real-time CT control the displacement of fiducial markers placed into thermally ablated specimens of ex vivo bovine liver tissue. Fibre-optic sensors are used to measure the tissue temperature during the procedure. A correlation in the kinetic of the two processes, i.e. tissue shrinkage and temperature increase, was observed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
