A thermochromic tissue‐mimicking phantom for catheter‐based radiofrequency ablation of heterogenous lesions
A tunable thermochromic phantom formulation was developed, exhibiting a precise color change at 60°C while replicating the electrical and mechanical properties of heterogeneous tissues, enabling direct visualization of ablation boundaries. The phantom offers a robust platform for evaluating catheter-based RFA in clinically relevant complex tissues, supporting the development of personalized and optimized treatment strategies.
