3D Computational Modeling of the Vascular Heat-Sink Effect in Microwave Ablation of Tumors Close to the Aorta

Youjin Kim, Kyungho Yoon, Minwoo Shin

Microwave ablation (MWA) is a percutaneous ablation that induces thermal necrosis by generating localized high-temperature regions within tumor tissue. However, when a tumor is loc…
