Evaluation of thermal injury to liver, pancreas and kidney during irreversible electroporation in an in vivo experimental model

Background Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a new technique for tumour cell ablation that is reported to involve non‐thermal‐based energy using high voltage at short microsecond pulse lengths. In vivo assessment of the thermal energy generated during IRE has not been performed. Thermal injury c...
