Technique B (Standard CT 3d Analysis) - Image Example. A, B axial image plane (A) as well as coronal image plane (B) – IRE Protocol 1. Note: in the axial image plane, the absolute longest diameter of the treatment zone was measured, and perpendicular to this parameter, the longest diameter of the treatment zone was determined. In the coronal image plane, the longest craniocaudal diameter of the treatment zone was determined. These three diameters were ordered by size and defined as long, intermediate and short diameter. The diameter of the largest inscribed sphere within the treatment zone was defined equal to the short diameter. The barycenter offset is not assessable applying this approach.
