[EN] Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with internally cooled needle-like electrodes is a technique widely used to destroy cancer cells. In a previous study we obtained the analytical solution of the biological heat equation ...
[EN] Purpose: To develop computer models to mimic the impedance-controlled pulsing protocol implemented in radiofrequency (RF) generators used for clinical practice of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and to assess the ...

The hyperbolic bioheat equation (HBE) has been used to model heating applications involving very short power pulses. This equation includes two mathematical distributions (Heaviside and Delta) which have to be necessarily ...
[EN] The function of Green associated to a linear partial differential operator P(D) in a domain ¿ acting at point x0 of the domain, is a distribution G(x,x0) such that P(D)G(x,x0) = ¿(x¿x0), where ¿is the Dirac¿s delta ...
