Microwave Ablation of Hepatic Malignancy [PDF]
Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2013 Microwave ablation is an extremely promising heat-based thermal ablation modality that has particular applicability in treating hepatic malignancies. Microwaves can generate very high temperatures in very short time periods, potentially leading to improved treatment efficiency and larger ablation zones. As the available technology continues to improve,
