AblaSure®
Driven by AI

Sufficient ablation margins are the most important aspect in reducing tumour recurrence. But how can one be certain in the assessment?

Side by side comparison of pre- and postoperative images has shown to produce poor outcomes. Evaluation of treatment success by assessment of ablation margins remains difficult and is subject to misjudgment in up to 44% of cases1. Hence, a crucial point in curative treatments of HCC is the evaluation of treatment success by utilizing specific software functionalites2,3.

AblaSure is an AI trained on large data sets enabling instantaneous, seamless and three-dimensional assessment of effective ablation margins against the previously created treatment plan. This AI-driven algorithm additionally calculates the percentage of coverage indicating the extent to which the tumor and planned margin has been ablated.

Through integration into the existing Quality Ablation workflow AblaSure provides clinicians with accurate and immediate treatment assessment in their clinical practice4.

"We know, from numerous studies, that the effectiveness of eyeballing side by side pictures, pre and post ablation is not very good. So, the ability to have a single unified approach which produces a visual and numerical impression, of how effective your ablation has been, is likely to be a bit of a game- changer."
