Ablation near the electrode in a flashtube.The high-energy electrical arc slowly erodes the glass, leaving a frosted appearance. Ablation (Latin: ablatio – removal) is the removal or destruction of something from an object by vaporization, chipping, erosive processes, or by other means.
Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radio-frequency energy or other sources to terminate or modify a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the heart of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).
A cardiac ablation is a treatment for irregular heartbeats. It's described by the Cleveland Clinic as a "minimally invasive procedure that creates scars to stop the electrical impulses that cause ...
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses high energy radio waves to reduce precancerous cells. People may also get it to manage chronic pain and treat irregular ...
Aquablation, or water ablation, means using water to destroy tissue. Aquablation therapy, also called waterjet hydrodissection or ablation, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an unheated ...
An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system. [ 2 ] The term is an analogy with biology (removal of components of an organism), and is particularly used in the analysis of artificial neural networks by analogy with ...
Laser ablation or photoablation (also called laser blasting [1] [2] [3]) is the process of removing material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. At low laser flux, the material is heated by the absorbed laser energy and evaporates or sublimates .
