Radiofrequency ablation devices are used to treat medical conditions such as cancer tumors with the help of imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT),magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound by using minimally invasive (MI) techniques. This involves the use of high-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat energy (alternating current). Radiofrequency ablation is used by surgeons to destroy cancerous cells, and remove or trim obstructive tissues and dead nerves. The process is carried out by inserting a special needle through the skin onto the tumor. The procedure targets specific tissue/nerve with radiofrequency electrical energy, heating the tumor through an active exposed electrode tip. The heat generated induces cellular death as a result of irreversible protein denaturation. This technology has wide applications in various medical fields such as cardiac rhythm, oncology, cerebral tumors, gynecology, renal denervation for hypertension, pain management, and cosmetology.
