Thermal destruction by microwaves has been used effectively for many years for ablation of both small liver metastases and primary lesions. Microwaves produce effective ablation without islands of viable cells in a rapid and reproducible fashion. The microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum is well suited to such a role due to the efficient conversion of electromagnetic energy to heat. This translation of energy is a result of the strong interaction between polar molecules and microwaves that causes oscillation of molecules, which is expressed as heat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
