Abstract

In radiofrequency (RF) ablation a needle-shaped probe is inserted into the patient’s body in order to heat and subsequently destroy the malignant tissue around the needle tip. The determination of the optimal probe position poses an intricate problem, as it requires the modelling of the tumour destruction depending on the attained temperature as well as the incorporation of constraints that prohibit puncturing bones or other risk structures.
