Computed tomography-based thermography (CTT) in microwave ablation: prediction of the heat ablation zone in the porcine liver

ConclusionOur results show that CTT allows visualization of the ablation area and measurement of its size and is feasible in patients, encouraging further exploration in a clinical setting.Critical relevance statementCT-based thermography research software allows visualization of the ablation zone and is feasible in patients, encouraging further exploration in a clinical setting to assess risk reduction of local recurrence.Graphical Abstract
