摘要:
The main purpose of this paper was to validate whether the method using features of ultrasonic radio frequency signal (URFS) is effective for non-invasive monitoring in microwave ablation. A total of 15 fresh in vitro porcine livers were experimented. Features of amplitude integral, energy, sum of absolute value of difference (SAD) integral, time-shift and attenuation coefficient of URFS were extracted. Changing rules of these features and the relationships between time-shift, attenuation coefficient and tissue temperature were analyzed. Experimental results showed that maximums of amplitude integral, energy and SAD integral occur at the temperature within 50-60°C. In addition, there was a linear relationship between time-shift and tissue temperature within 60°C and the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient increased with the temperature rising. Therefore, features of URFS can reflect the change of tissue property and may be used in the non-invasive monitoring of microwave ablation in the future. © 2011 IEEE.
