Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biophysics
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Thermal ablation is a primary treatment for liver tumors in non-surgical candidates.
  • Predicting tissue destruction volume after thermal ablation remains challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To correlate ablation zone volume with liver perfusion using Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI).
  • To evaluate the impact of Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) on ex-vivo bovine liver tissue.

Main Methods:

  • Radiofrequency ablation performed on ex-vivo bovine livers at various locations.
  • Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) monitored ablation zones (400-1000 nm).
  • K-means clustering and statistical analysis identified optimal wavelengths for tissue discrimination.

Main Results:

  • Optical properties of liver tissue varied significantly post-ablation.
  • A specific wavelength (720 ± 18.92 nm) was identified for distinguishing normal, thermal, and ablated tissue.
  • HSI reflection spectral images with high variance pinpointed optimal discrimination wavelengths.

Conclusions:

  • Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) is a valuable tool for monitoring liver tissue characteristics.
  • HSI aids in evaluating the ablation zone margins during liver thermal ablation procedures.
