DESCRIPTION:New start-up idea and company to improve thermal ablation of tu
 mors\n\nThermal ablation of tumors through the skin and into liver or kidn
 ey is in widespread use daily. A medical start-up created a novel gel that
  is injected next to the tumor that changes the dielectric properties such
  that microwaves or RF are more effectively absorbed and the ablation volu
 me is markedly increased. This should lead to more effective treatment sin
 ce often all of the tumor is not ablated with the treatment which could le
 ad to regrowth of the cancer. The technology could also be used for cardia
 c ablation and other sites.\n\nThe talk will give a short tutorial on tumo
 rs\, thermal ablation\, and access to the tumor\, including an animation. 
 Following this introduction\, then it will proceed to go over the market p
 otential\, and development and commercialization plans of the start-up. Th
 e audience will be the hypothetical Angel investors and will discuss after
 ward whether they would fund or not and their reasons for doing so. Angel 
 investors invest their own money\, so they scrutinize (in great detail) al
 l the start-ups that pitch to them.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Central Texas

X-ALT-DESC:Description: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;New start-up idea and company to improve t
 hermal ablation of tumors&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Thermal ablation of tumors through the s
 kin and into liver or kidney is in widespread use daily. A medical start-u
 p created a novel gel that is injected next to the tumor that changes the 
 dielectric properties such that microwaves or RF are more effectively abso
 rbed and the ablation volume is markedly increased. This should lead to mo
 re effective treatment since often all of the tumor is not ablated with th
