Development of a high‐fidelity phantom for training ultrasound‐guided radiofrequency ablation of thyroid nodules
A high-fidelity phantom for training ultrasound-guided RFA of TNs has been presented. The developed phantom demonstrated clear ultrasound imaging and a similar RFA response of biological tissues, particularly pig liver. It provides a realistic and effective platform for training in ultrasound-guided RFA of TNs.
