AbstractPURPOSE: To evaluate morphologic characteristics and cell viability of radiofrequency ablation zones in porcine liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Approval of the study protocol was obtained from the Ethics Committee on Use of Live Animals for Teaching and Research at University of Hong Kong. Internally cooled electrodes were used to produce 120 ablated zones ex vivo and 60 ablated zones in vivo with single electrodes (1-, 2-, and 3-cm exposed lengths) or clustered electrodes (1.0-, 2.0-, and 2.5-cm exposed lengths) at 4, 8, 12, and 16 minutes of ablation (ex vivo) and 8 and 12 minutes of ablation (in vivo). Morphologic measurements of each ablated zone were performed. Cell viability in each ablated zone was assessed qualitatively with histochemical staining and quantitatively with measurement of intracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) concentration. RESULTS: Exposed length of electrode (coefficient = 0.79, standard error = 0.04, P < .001), duration of ablation (coefficient = 0.14, standard error = 0.01, P < .001), and clustered electrode design (coefficient = 1.21, standard error = 0.05, P < .001) were independent factors that affected minimal transverse diameter and volume of ablated zone in ex vivo study. Similar morphologic characteristics existed among ablated zones in in vivo study. Mean distance of ablation beyond the electrode tip remained constant (ex vivo, 1.0 cm ± 0.08 [standard deviation]; in vivo, 0.5 cm ± 0.05) regardless of different ablation conditions. Histochemical staining revealed no viable hepatocytes from center to margins of white zone in each ablated area. Mean intracellular ATP concentration in margins of white zone (9.5 × 10-12 mol/μg DNA ± 1.43) was lower than that in red zone (4088 × 10-12 mol/μg DNA ± 65.97, P < .001) and in adjacent normal liver (4528 × 10-12 mol/μg DNA ± 52.74, P < .001). CONCLUSION: Distance of ablation beyond the tip of the electrode remained constant (ex vivo, 1.0 cm; in vivo, 0.5 cm) with different conditions of ablation. Complete and uniform cellular destruction was achieved in the white zone of ablated area. © RSNA, 2005.
