Abstract
In this work the application of an ultrasound based classification system for the detection of thermally ablated tissue is presented. In-vitro and in-vivo experiments have been carried out using an RF ablation device. A conventional diagnostic ultrasound device was used for measurements. Several features from spectral and spatial domain were extracted from ultrasound RF data and processed by the classifier. Classification results are presented in binary coagulation maps
