Accuracy of liver ablation zone prediction in a single 2450 MHz 100 Watt generator model microwave ablation system: An in human study

ConclusionsThis 2450 MHz 100 Watt generator MWA system manufacturer provided model fairly accurately predicts ablation zone dimensions, but tends to over predict realized dimensions in this mainly hepatocellular carcinoma, and therefore cirrhotic, cohort. The TR is the most inaccurately predicted dimension and manufacturer predictions appear to be best in the 100 W setting, important aspects for interventionalists to consider during ablation planning and execution.
