Abstract :
The goal of this work is design and construction new electrode layout for radiofrequency ablation instrument, which would further specify the lead of electrodes into the liver tissue, reduced operating time to a minimum, not damage healthy tissue unnecessarily in the vicinity of the tumor and would be compatible with the currently used radio-frequency power source from the company named RITA.
