    1. Treatment Planning Optimization for Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatic Tumors Hern�n Abeledo, Ph.D. Associate Professor Engineering Management and Systems Engineering School of Engineering and Applied Science abeledo@gwu.edu (202) 994-7521 Joint with: Enrique Campos-Na�ez & Stella S. Munuo (GWU-SEAS) Kevin Cleary & Filip Banovac (GUMC-ISIS) Partially funded by the GW Institute for Biomedical Engineering

    2. Radiofrequency Ablation of Liver Tumors Minimally invasive cancer treatment modality (percutaneous, laparoscopic) Cells killed by heat generated by radiofrequency energy Treatment alternative for 80% of un-resectable hepatic malignancies Performed by Interventional Radiologists guided by Ultrasound, CT or MRI Region treated by a single ablation is approximately a spherical ellipsoid Probes come in several sizes (up to 5 cm diameter) Large tumors may require multiple overlapping ablations
