Figure Lengend Snippet: Temperature distribution (in °C) obtained after 60 s of continuous RF procedure in a plane along the electrode axis for: ( a ) homogeneous domain comprising of muscle tissue alone, ( b ) heterogeneous domain comprising of the target nerve embedded in the muscle tissue and ( c ) heterogeneous domain comprising of target bone, nerve and muscle tissues.

Article Snippet: In the present computational study, the treatment time of the continuous RF procedure was set to 60 s. The discretization of the computational domain was done by utilizing the heterogeneous tetrahedral mesh elements constructed with COMSOL’s built-in mesh generator.
