   Abstract:
   Computer simulations are performed to compare the depth and volume of the lesions caused by chilled radio-frequency ablation and conventional RF ablation. Results indicate that when the tissue temperature reaches 100°C, the volume and the depth of the tissue with the greatest temperature rise are 20 mm³ and 1.8 mm for conventional RF ablation and 50 mm³ and 3.8 mm for chilled RF ablation
