          Abstract

          In situ ablation is increasingly being used for the treatment of liver malignancies. The application of these techniques is limited by the lack of a precise prediction of the destruction volume. This holds especially true in anatomically difficult situations, such as metastases in the vicinity of larger liver vessels. We developed a three-dimensional (3D) planning system for laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) of liver tumors. The aim of the study was to validate the system for calculation of the destruction volume.
