Figure 6 RFA needle electrode.
Modeling to show the placement of the RFA needle electrodes to enable 12 overlapping spheres to give an equivalent of 7.5 cm diameter target sphere. (A, B) lower pole ablation with 3 RFA needle electrodes (red arrows) to create 3 overlapping ablation spheres (C, D) middle row ablation with 6 RFA needle electrodes (blue arrows) to create 6 overlapping ablation spheres and (E, F) upper pole ablation with retraction of the first 3 RFA electrodes to complete the target sphere of 7.5 cm.
