How do radiofrequency ablation devices work in medical treatments?
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) devices are minimally invasive medical instruments that use high-frequency electrical currents to generate heat, which destroys abnormal tissue in the body. The procedure involves inserting a thin, needle-like probe through the skin to the targeted area, guided by imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, or fluoroscopy. Once positioned correctly, the device delivers controlled radiofrequency energy that heats the tissue to temperatures between 60-100°C, causing cellular death through thermal coagulation.
