Finite element analysis of tissue deformation with a radiofrequency ablation electrode for strain imaging

Recent studies have shown that radiofrequency (RF) electrode displacement or deformation-based strain imaging can be used as an alternate imaging modality to monitor and to evaluate ablative therapies for liver tumors. This paper describes a biomechanical model used to study RF electrode deformation...
