The effects of measurement errors on minimum ablative margins after thermal ablation of liver tumors: a simulation study
This framework provides a method to determine software-specific in silico A0 thresholds and evaluate the reliability of existing 5-mm criteria based on software performance metrics. The results further show that ablation confirmation software should have registration and segmentation errors of ≤ 3 mm to reliably use a 5-mm A0 threshold.
