Comparison of predicted and experimentally determined ablation area for penetrating electrodes configuration.

Abstract

Panels 1–9 show sections of a lesion that has been stained with tetrazolium chloride (TTC), so that the ablated areas are white, while the surviving areas are stained red. We used the outline from Fig 6B as the theoretical prediction and oriented it so that the electrodes in the simulation match the electrodes in the experiment; the resulting outline is superimposed in green over each stained section.</p
