Background:

Radio-frequency (RF) ablation is a common medical procedure.
Accurate visualization of RF ablation-induced lesions is crucial for effective treatment.
Existing methods for lesion visualization face challenges with in vivo implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a novel method of tissue displacement for elastographic visualization of RF ablation lesions.
To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using the RF ablation electrode as a displacement device.
To compare elastographically measured dimensions with known dimensions in phantoms and ex vivo tissues.

Main Methods:

Developed and tested a novel electrode displacement elastography technique.
Acquired radio-frequency echo signals before and after controlled electrode displacements (0.05–0.2 mm).
Utilized 1D cross-correlation analysis for displacement measurement and strain calculation.

Main Results:

Electrode displacement elastography effectively visualized RF ablation-induced lesions.
The method showed slightly underestimated lesion dimensions compared to a priori known values.
Validated findings in tissue-mimicking phantoms and canine liver tissue.

Conclusions:

Electrode displacement elastography is an effective and practical method for monitoring RF ablation.
The technique offers advantages for in vivo application by reducing issues associated with external compression.
This method aids in precise lesion visualization during RF ablation procedures.
