Assessments of irreversible thermal ablation in ex vivo pancreatic tissue after 5-W CILA: (a) numerical simulation (left) and experiment (right) on irreversible tissue ablation after irradiation of 5 W for 200 s (1000 J delivered; DA = diffusing applicator; CN = coagulation necrosis), (b) histology images of transverse section (xy plane) from tissue treated at 5 W for 200 s (left: 40$\times$ and right: 400$\times$), and (c) radial thickness of tissue ablation and eccentricity (left) and total ablation volume (right) as function of power (N = 10).
