  Abstract

  Minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins by endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) becomes more and more popular. However, despite significant research efforts performed during the last years, there is still a lack of agreement regarding EVLA mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. The aim of this article is to address some of these controversies by utilizing optical-thermal mathematical modeling. Our model combin […]

  Abstract

  Abstract Purpose: The objectives of this study were to develop numerical models of interstitial ultrasound ablation of tumours within or adjacent to bone, to evaluate model performance through theoretical analysis, and to validate the models and approximations used through comparison to experiments. Methods: 3D transient biothermal and acoustic finite element models were developed, employing four approximations o […]
