Multi-Tissue Analysis on the Impact of Electroporation on Electrical and Thermal Properties

Conclusion: The three tissue types show similar electrical and thermal responses to IRE, though brain tissue exhibits the greatest differences. The results also show that tissue type plays a role in the expected ablation and thermal damage volumes. Significance: The conductivity and its changes due to heating are expected to have a marked impact on the ablation volume. Incorporating these tissue properties aids in the prediction and optimization of electroporation-based therapies.
