Microwave Ablation Using Four-Tine Antenna: Effects of Blood Flow Velocity, Vessel Location, and Total Displacement on Porous Hepatic Cancer Tissue

Figure 1

FEM model for liver ablation using the 4T antenna. The 4T antenna is fully deployed in the liver and a single 1 cm blood vessel is located 1.3 cm to the right of point A (four-tine (A, B, C, and D)).
