Preliminary analysis of ultrasound elastography imaging-based thermometry on non-perfused ex vivo swine liver

ConclusionsUltrasound thermometry during laser ablation of biological tissue based on elastography shows an abrupt output change at temperatures  >  55–60 °C. This issue can have a relevant clinical impact, considering tumor necrosis when temperature crosses 55 °C to define the boundary of damaged volume.Graphic abstract
