Abstract

Cancer is a major health disease observed in many people. This paper offers methodology for the treatment of hepatic malevolence to find the temperature of the tissue spreading during the process of hepatic ablation. We use the finite-element method (FEM) as the mathematical modeling. The thermal-electrical 3D FEM prototype consisting of alarge blood vessel, a hepatic tissue, and four-tine probe, located at altered locations. Duration of 8minutes and controlled temperature of 50° C are used in the simulation of FEM based analyses. The highest value of the tissue temperature observed next to electrode A, during this process the distance from blood vessel and electrode is 5 mm. similarly if distance is 1mm then hot spot observed nearer to the electrode but opposite side. In the 2-D model temperature is non-uniformly distributed because of the diverged blood vessel. The tumor may be regenerated near areas which are under dosed next to the blood vessel.
