Saline Enhanced RF ablation... Saline-Enhanced RF ablation of liver tumors Saline Enhanced Radiofrequency Ablation: Basic Theory Thermal therapy is used in many medical treatments..., including liver cancer ablation and myocardial ablation for tachycardia. Hyperthermic therapies use radiofrequency, ultrasound or microwave energy to heat tissue to therapeutic... temperatures. The ablation tools are typically placed near the center of the volume to be heated. The tissue converts the incident energy to heat through absorption and, because...
