Choosing the right fluid during microwave ablation (MWA) can enhance or protect tissues. Gastrografin, Magnograf, and HES 10% boost ablation, while Lipiodol, distilled water, and glucose solutions offer protection.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Thermal Ablation Technologies

Background:

  • Microwave ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive technique for tissue destruction.
  • The thermal properties of surrounding fluids can influence MWA efficacy and safety.
  • Understanding fluid-tissue interactions is crucial for optimizing MWA procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effects of various fluids on enhancing or protecting tissues during MWA.
  • To compare the thermal behavior of different fluids under MWA conditions.
  • To identify specific fluids that can modulate MWA outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Seventeen different fluids were tested in triplicate (20 ml each).
  • Fluids were heated using MWA at power levels from 10 to 45 watts.

  • Heating continued until 80°C was reached or 10 minutes elapsed; cooling was then monitored.

    • Main Results:

    • Gastrografin, Magnograf, and HES 10% heated fastest to 80°C.
    • Lipiodol, distilled water, and glucose 5% solution showed limited heating.
    • A strong correlation (r=0.97) was found between temperature slope and maximum temperatures achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Fluid selection significantly impacts MWA thermal effects.
    • Gastrografin, Magnograf, and HES 10% can enhance ablation.
    • Lipiodol, distilled water, and glucose 5% solution may provide protective effects during MWA.
