文摘

A numerical model to predict lesion size following saline infused RFA is developed. The model solves for saline transport, tissue joule heating and tissue death. Optimum saline infusion prior to RFA increases the lesion size by 89%. Increasing the infusion volume did not always lead to larger lesions. There is an optimum volume that produces the largest increase in lesion size.
