Fig. 6From: Computer 3D modeling of radiofrequency ablation of atypical cartilaginous tumours in long bones using finite element methods and real patient anatomyProgression of the ablation zone of case three with an atypical cartilaginous tumour in the distal femoral metaphysis at two selected times. Both ablation zones are represented as a transversal cut at the height of the electrode, inside the three-dimensional geometry. a The ablation zone after 150 s, when the ablation zone is still rapidly growing. b The ablation zone at the end of the procedure after steady state has been reached. The measurements were taken from the centre of the electrode and perpendicular to it. All measurements are in centimeterBack to article page
