Configuring thermal ablation volumes for treatment of distinct tumor shapes: a repeatability study using a robotic approach
The repeatability of configurable ablation shapes was observed to be noninferior to the standard ablation shapes. Achieving configurable ablation volumes underscores the potential to advance personalization of thermal ablation treatment and broaden its applicability to distinct tumor cases. <i>In-vivo</i> validation is needed for evaluation of the clinical implications of this novel treatment technique.
