Safety assessment of microwave ablation in sheep vertebral bodies
MWA is an effective approach for local bone destruction in the spine. However, given the high risk of complications, caution is advised for treatment in vertebral bodies without better local distribution accuracy. Since cortical insulation appears insufficient to protect the spinal canal from excess heat, MWA involves a risk of paralysis.
