Fig. 6. —Effect of tissue perfusion on radiofrequency ablation. Range
of perfusion states (0-10 kg/m3-sec) are presented. Hypervascular
tumor perfusion acts as significant thermal sink at all tumor sizes and
electrical conductivities. Height of surface contour lowers as perfusion
increases from 0 to 10 kg/m3-sec, while peak only shifts slightly.
Surface responses show that perfusion significantly affects radiofrequency
heating. S/m = siemens per meter.
