Abstract

A comparison of laser-and RF based interstitial coagulation systems, which are used for the treatment of liver tumors, is presented. The systems that include, laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) and radio-frequency ablation (RFA), are applied successfully for interstitial coagulation of liver tumors creating lesion sizes up to 40 mm diameter with a single probe. LITT seems more effective in creating larger lesions in a shorter time than RFA. However, using multiple probes and smart power settings, both systems can create larger lesions in an acceptable treatment time.
