4 Heat induced radiofrequency thermal ablation (RTA) is a consolidated, safe and minimally invasive approach for the treatment of hepatic nodular lesions and neoplasm of different organs (kidney, spleen, prostate, breast, lung, bone) RTA has been proposed as a new tool for the treatment of thyroid nodules.

8 Heating and tissue Roma, Temperature ( C) < >200 Cellular Effect No significant cell damage Reversible cell damage Irreversible cell damage (denaturation) Coagulation (collagens converted to glucose) Desiccation (boiling of intra- and extracellular water) Carbonization

9

10 Heating and tissue Roma, When temperature exceeds 105 C, cells are dehidrated and carbonated. This event stops heat and energy dispersion to the tissue around, with reduction of the treatment efficacy. applethe RTA should ideally induce a prolonged tissue s heating with temperature ranging from 50 and 105 C in the volume of tissue to ablate.

11 Heating and tissue: Radiofrequency Roma, Lesion Size Depends on Electrode Size and Temperature Lesion Size (cm) Body Temp Cell Death Electrode Temperature ( C) SB XLi (7 cm) SB XL & Flex (5 cm) SB XL & Flex (3 cm) StarBurst SDE (2 cm)
