PURPOSE: To compare in vivo coagulation necrosis obtained with four radiofrequency (RF)
ablation devices, to determine shape and reproducibility of induced coagulation by means …

Radiofrequency (RF) thermal ablation is a promising and rapidly evolving technique for the
minimal invasive treatment of liver malignancies. Until a few years ago, conventional RF …

Results On an outpatient basis, a total of 21 infiltrations, constituting 19 procedures in 10
patients, were performed. All patients received 40 mg of triamcinolone acetonide (Volon A 40; …

In modeling steam power cycles, thermodynamic properties as functions of the variables
enthalpy and entropy are required in the liquid and the vapor regions. It is difficult to perform …

Our objective was to evaluate the clinical success rates of percutaneously drained intra-abdominal
abscesses using a risk stratification score for severely ill patients (APACHE III; Acute …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of automatic bolus tracking for biphasic spiral
CT of the liver in comparison with time delay examinations. Forty patients scheduled for a …

Objective To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided corticosteroid injections of
inflamed sacroiliac (SI) joints in patients with spondyloarthropathy with therapy resistant …

Materials and Methods All experiments were performed at sites (n= 408) of fresh ex vivo
bovine livers at room temperature. We used an open perfused electrode; the flow rate of the …

Our aim was to describe the technique and clinical results of preoperative embolization of
cervical spine osteoblastomas. We treated 3 patients with these tumors with transarterial …

Rationale and Objectives: To evaluate the efficiency of 4 radiofrequency (RF) systems by
assessing the amount of delivered energy for each thermal induced lesion after perfusion …
