[EN] Purpose:Most modeling studies on radiofrequency cardiac ablation (RFCA) are based on limited-domain models, which means the computational domain is restricted to a few centimeters of myocardium and blood around the ...
[EN] The objective of this work is to quantify the relation between the value of the effective thermal conductivity of trabecular bone and its microstructure and marrow content. The thermal conductivity of twenty bovine ...
[EN] Purpose: The thermal effect of the intramyocardial blood perfusion on the size of lesions created by radiofrequency cardiac ablation (RFCA) has not been adequately studied to date. Our objective was to assess the ...

[EN] We present a theoretical model for the study of cornea heating with radio-frequency currents. This technique is used to reshape the cornea to correct refractive disorders. Our numerical model has allowed the study of ...
[EN] Background/Objective
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to thermally destroy the focus of cardiac arrhythmias. Novel optical techniques are now being integrated into ...

[EN] Introduction: The use of ultra-short RF pulses could achieve greater lesion depth immediately after the application of the pulse due to thermal latency.
Methods and results: A computer model of irrigated-catheter RF ...
