Ablation Planning Notes

CTARN

On November 6th and 7th, 2014, Rhode Island Hospital will be hosting the first Conformal Thermal Ablation Research Network workshop. This workshop will bring together leading experts on ablation therapy to discuss novel treatment planning procedures. With demonstrations at both the hospital and Brown University, it aims to foster collaboration ...


Cancer Ablation Research at Rhode Island Hospital

When Mrs. Hope Tucker's brother contracted lung cancer, she watched in horror as his unsuccessful surgery to remove the tumor left him tied to an oxygen machine. In the end, it only increased his suffering during his last few weeks. So when she was also diagnosed with lung cancer, she chose a different approach.



Thermal Ablation Simulation Research Plan Spring 2014

Garron Deshazer with Dr. Derek Merck, Dr. Damian Dupuy, Dr. Edward Walsh, Dr. Jeom Soon Kim, Dr. William Park

Goal

Model and validate thermal profiles produced by a physically based generative model of various microwave ablation procedures (MWA) and correlate these profiles with 3D ablation zone size and shape.
