Radiofrequency and Microwave Ablation of the Liver, Lung, Kidney, and Bone: What Are the Differences?
Open accessAbstract
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is becoming an accepted treatment modality for many tumors of the liver and is being explored for tumors in the lung, kidney and bone. While RF energy is the most familiar heat source for tissue ablation, it has certain limitations that may hamper its efficacy in these new organ systems. Microwave energy may be able to overcome the technical limitations of RF energy but has technical hurdles that must be overcome as well. This paper outlines the physics behind RF and microwave heating, discusses relevant properties of the liver, lung, kidney and bone for thermal ablation and examines the roles of RF and microwave ablation in these tissues.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
