Planning of image-guided interventions in the liver

IEEE Pulse. 2011 Sep-Oct;2(5):48-55. doi: 10.1109/MPUL.2011.942605.

Abstract

In the following, we demonstrate the use of computational modeling for treatment planning of interventional procedures on the example of two clinically used therapies for liver cancer, which are used for both primary tumors (i.e., cancer originating in the liver) as well as metastatic tumors.
