Microwave ablation is a simple, affordable, and highly precise technique. After its successful application in treating liver tumors, it is now widely used to combat renal tumors, adrenal tumors, thyroid nodes, uterine fibroids and other solid tumors. This book presents 40 successful cases of treating these diseases. A series of picture before treatment, after treatment and from different angles is provided for each kind of tumor treatment. In each chapter, step by step operative techniques and illustrations are included. This book also examines CT, NMR and ultrasonography to evaluate the effect of microwave ablation.Editor Ping Liang, is the Director and Professor at Dept. of Interventional Ultrasound, General Hospital of PLA, Beijing, China. Editor Xiaoling Yu is Professor and Chief physician, Editor Jie Yu is Associate Chief physician at the same department.

This book explores different aspects of LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry). It presents a large array of new analytical protocols for elemental or isotope analysis. LA-ICP-MS is a powerful tool that combines a sampling device able to remove very small quantities of material without leaving visible damage at the surface of an object. Furthermore, it functions as a sensitive analytical instrument that measures, within a few seconds, a wide range of isotopes in inorganic samples. Determining the elemental or the isotopic composition of ancient material is essential to address questions related to ancient technology or provenance and therefore aids archaeologists in reconstructing exchange networks for goods, people and ideas. Recent improvements of LA-ICP-MS have opened new avenues of research that are explored in this volume.

Catheter ablation is a major treatment for atrial tachycardias. Hereby, the precise monitoring of the lesion formation is an important success factor. This book presents computational, wet-lab, and clinical studies with the aim of evaluating the signal characteristics of the intracardiac electrograms (IEGMs) recorded around ablation lesions from different perspectives. The detailed analysis of the IEGMs can optimize the description of durable and complex lesions during the ablation procedure.

The phenomena of Coulomb explosion require the consideration of special relativity due to the involvement of high-energy electrons or ions. It is known that laser ablation processes at high laser intensities may lead to the Coulomb explosion, and their released energy is in the regime of kilo to mega eV. In contrast to conventional MD simulations, we adopt the 3D relativistic RMD method to consider the effects of special relativity in the conventional MD simulation for charged particles in strong electromagnetic fields. Furthermore, we develop a Coulomb force scheme, combining with the Lennard-Jones potential, to calculate interactions between charged particles, and adopt a Verlet list scheme to compute the interactions between each particle. It is found that the damage depth does not increase with repeated laser ablation when the pulse frequency is comparable to the duration of the pulse. Furthermore, we report the time evolution of energy propagation in space in the laser ablation process. The temporal-spatial distribution of energy indirectly indicates the temperature evolution on the surface of solid under intense laser illumination

The pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) is a rapidly emerging technique in material science for fabricating metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles. The advantage of this method over the conventional chemical methods is the lower cost, high purity and absence of defects in the formed nanoparticles (NPs). Systems of poly (n-vinylcarbazole) doped with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) that ablated by nanosecond laser at different laser parameters such as, time of irradiation, source power and photon energy (wavelength) were prepared and studied. Structural, optical, morphological and thermal properties have been investigated using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Ultra Violet - Visible Spectra (UV-Vis), Photoluminescence (PL), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron microscope (TEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA).

Laser thermal ablation (LTA) is an in situ ablative techniquethat induces heat destruction of liver tumours. Despite increasingclinical use of LTA, reports of long-term outcomes and limitationsof treatment in specific cohorts of patients with liver tumours arelacking. In addition, the mechanisms of action of therapy are notfully understood. This book highlights some of the clinical resultsand limitations of LTA in the treatment of colorectal livermetastases and examines its mechanisms of action. Overall, there isa high incidence of local tumour recurrence following thermalablation due to incomplete tumour destruction and regional andextrahepatic tumour recurrences. The mechanisms of action ofthermal ablation appear to be multifactorial with interplay ofseveral factors. An understanding and manipulation of the processesmay further ensure complete tumour destruction and reduce local anddistal recurrences. This may encourage more widespread use of thistechnology for the treatment of liver tumours. This book should beespecially useful for health professionals and researchers with aninterest in the ever expanding field of thermal ablation of livertumours.
