Image-guided tumor ablation: standardization of terminology and reporting criteria--a 10-year update. (2014, background): “The term “ablative margin” is used to describe the region that should ideally be ablated in these cases (1, 44, 70).”
Local Recurrence After Hepatic Radiofrequency Coagulation: Multivariate Meta-Analysis and Review of Contributing Factors (2005, background): “For example, to cover a 3-cm tumor and its safety margin with an electrode that produces a perfectly spherical coagulation of 3 cm, 14 overlapping coagulations are required.(115) Many authors, however, restrict the number of overlapping coagulations to 2 or 3.”
Image-guided tumor ablation: standardization of terminology and reporting criteria. (2005, neutral): “0-cm-wide region that should ideally be ablated in these cases (68).”
