Tissue ablation radio-frequency (RF) therapy systems designed to ablate regions of solid organs (e.g., liver). These systems consist of an RF generator; interstitial or intracavitary arrays of electrodes, temperature sensors, and a feedback system for power control; and computed tomography, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance guidance. Interstitial tissue ablation systems are mostly used for coagulation necrosis of unresectable tumors at temperatures between 60 and 100 degrees C.
