Figure 11From: Finite Element Analysis of Hepatic Radiofrequency Ablation Probes using Temperature-Dependent Electrical Conductivity Electrical Conductivity Distribution Plot of the electrical conductivity along the active portion of the radiofrequency ablation probe when a source voltage of 20.0 volts is applied. When tissue perfusion is neglected, the largest changes in electrical conductivity occur in the center of the ablation probe. When tissue perfusion is accounted for, the largest changes in electrical conductivity occur at the proximal edge and the distal tip.Back to article page
