Percutaneous thermal ablation has been widely used as a minimally invasive treatment for
tumors. Treatment monitoring is essential for preventing complications while ensuring …

Constitutive models of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) lack a reliable three-
dimensional microstructural representation of the myocardium. Besides, complex …

The objective of this study was to investigate in vivo the relationship between stiffness and
thermal dose. For this purpose, shear wave elastography (SWE)—a novel ultrasound-based …

BACKGROUND: Arrhythmia recurrence after cardiac radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial
fibrillation has been linked to conduction through discontinuous lesion lines. Intraprocedural …

Peri‐Ablation Monitoring of RFA Lesion Stiffness Introduction Elastography imaging can
provide radiofrequency ablation (RFA) lesion assessment due to tissue stiffening at the …

Abstract Radiofrequency (RF) ablation (RFA) is the most commonly used minimally invasive
procedure for thermal ablation of liver tumors. Ultrasound not only provides real-time …

Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging is being utilized to investigate mechanical
properties of cardiac tissue. The underlying physiological motion, however, presents a major …

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a useful imaging modality which is used during RF
ablation procedures to identify anatomical structures. Utilizing ICE in conjunction with …

First‐in‐Human ARFI Images of RF Ablation Lesions Background Visual confirmation of
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) lesions during clinical cardiac ablation procedures could …

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive method for treating tumors. Shear
