Figure 1
Illustration of the ‘overlap technique’ using one probe/one insertion. The needle (black line) can be retracted without exiting the liver capsule and re-advanced in a different plane as shown with red arrows to cover a larger ablation area. Adequate ablation margins can be achieved with this technique. Digital design by Sefa Ozen.
