Figure 19From: Finite Element Analysis of Hepatic Radiofrequency Ablation Probes using Temperature-Dependent Electrical Conductivity Temperature Distribution Plot of the temperature distribution 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 highest temperatures occur in the center of the ablation probe. When tissue perfusion is accounted for, the highest temperatures occur at the proximal edge and the distal tip.Back to article page
