ΔT maximal values and ΔT rising time strongly depends on the proximity of the tissues to RF energy source, as well as on the RF power setting. A plateau is reached in lesion size, regardless of the power setting. A first correlation between lesion size, power setting, and time to achieve lethal isotherms has been established.
