Since the first radiofrequency (RF) ablation description in early 1990's for percutaneous tumor ablation, there has been considerable published data on the subject worldwide. An understanding of RF ablation equipment, mechanism of action and its interactions with tissue is critical to avoid complications and improve patient outcomes. There is considerable variability in the way that RF ablation may be performed, and there is a variety of equipment choices. Despite the accumulated data, the desire to more quickly obtain larger zones of ablation has quickly spurred the introduction of several new ablation modalities. However, RF ablation remains the prototypical thermal ablation technique.
自 20 世纪 90 年代初首次描述射频（RF）消融用于经皮肿瘤消融以来，全世界已经发表了大量关于该主题的文献。了解 RF 消融设备、作用机制及其与组织的相互作用对于避免并发症和改善患者预后至关重要。RF 消融的方式存在很大差异，并且有多种设备可供选择。尽管积累了大量数据，但人们希望更快地获得更大的消融区域，这迅速促使引入了几种新的消融方式。然而，RF 消融仍然是典型的热消融技术。
