Electrolytic ablation dose planning methodology

Electrolytic ablation (EA), a medical treatment increasingly used in solid tumor ablation, consists in the passage of a low direct electric current through two or more electrodes inserted in the tissue thus inducing pH fronts that destroys the tumor. The combined use of EA with a recently introduced...
