What was measured

For control group, MAM was assessed by rigid co-registration with side-by-side juxtaposition to verify applicator placement and by visual landmark-based CT measurements on CT workstation (Siemens Healthineers; Forchheim, Germany). For experimental group, CT images were processed with a software-based method on a radiation treatment planning system (Raystation, RaySearch Laboratories; Stockholm, Sweden) with biomechanical deformable imaging registration coupled with AI-based autosegmentation. For experimental group, interventional radiologist (IR) was informed of ablation applicator position relative to tumor on non-contrast CT before thermal ablation energy delivery and of MAM results (including spatial location of suboptimal margins) generated by software-based assessment, with this information not disclosed to IR in control group. Software-based assessment was used to compare MAMs results between both study groups with a two-sample t-test.
