    This paper presents three-dimensional finite element method for analyze a varicose vein microwave ablation. Varicose vein can contract by using heat from microwave ablation. Because of varicose vein patients have leg pain from long time standing, and do a lot of activities. Symptoms have influenced the daily life of patients. We study method for varicose vein therapy by using microwave ablation. Because of this method is easy to use for varicose vein therapy. In this research work, we propose simulation varicose vein that varicose vein is inserted with antenna into blood vessel. Simulation method delivers microwave to antenna inserted in varicose vein. For this reason, varicose vein is contract. Finite element analysis can apply in treatment planning and show temperature distribution and specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution for contract of varicose vein characteristic by using microwave therapy. And the doctor can be use the data for treat in future. ©2012 IEEE.

    This paper presents three-dimensional finite element analyses of radio-frequency hepatic tumor ablation. The analyses performed in this paper are composed of two systems. In the first system, the simulation was of monopolar ablation (one needle), while the second system was the simulation of bipolar ablation (two needles). We performed a preliminary study of thermal and electrical distributions of both systems. Additional simulations of bipolar ablation were performed to investigate the effect of spacing distance between two needle electrodes (2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm). The ablation duration used in all cases was 10 min, and the controlled maximum temperature was set to 90°C. From the results, the electric field in monopolar ablation appeared to be distributed uniformly between the electrode and the ground surface, but the electric field in bipolar ablation was focused in the regions between the two electrodes. For bipolar ablation, when the distances between the electrodes were 2 cm and 3 cm, the lesion created was contiguous and covered the areas surrounding both electrodes. However, when the distances between the electrodes were 4 cm and 5 cm, the lesions created were not contiguous and shaped similar to performing two monopolar ablation operations.
