Capabilities in Simulations of RF Ablation and Electrosurgery Procedures
We have worked for over ten years with leading electrosurgery companies designing custom software, advising on simulation strategies and presenting short courses on finite-element techniques. Our resources include powerful 2D and 3D codes to model the interaction of RF electric fields or microwave electromagnetic fields with tissues. The programs calculate fully-coupled electrical and bioheat solutions for self-consistent power-deposition profiles. They feature advanced material models with temperature-dependent electrical and thermal properties including phase changes. Custom pulsing sequences may be set for any application, with the option for active decision points based on peak temperature, damage integral limits or calculated impedance. We have the ability to add computational features as needed for specialized applications.
