Figure 5From: Computer modeling and ex vivo experiments with a (saline-linked) irrigated electrode for RF-assisted heating Thermal lesions created after RF heating. Side ( A) and surface (B) view of the thermal lesions created. After RF heating each lesion was cross-sectioned and the side view was photographed. On each side view, depth (D) and width (W) was measured. As observed in the surface view, the thermal lesions were generally non symmetrical with respect to electrode location (solid line), showing a non circular surface lesion (dotted line).Back to article page
