In “Radiofrequency Ablation Procedure” section of the original article, the relationship between the location of the thermocouples and the size of the ablation zones is inaccurate and not consistent with the referenced article in the bibliography (#3. Hillen et al). It currently states “Based on manufacturer thermal distribution curves, the dimensions of the ellipsoid ablation volume are 20 x 15 x 15 mm when the thermocouple located 15 mm from the radiofrequency electrode reaches 50 °C and 15 x 7 x 7 mm when the thermocouple located 10 mm from the radiofrequency electrode reaches 50 °C [3]”.

It should read: “… ablation zone size in relation to thermocouple temperatures is based on manufacturer thermal distribution curves demonstrating a 3:2 length-to-width aspect ratio ablation zone with a maximum ablation zone 30 mm long by 20 mm wide when the proximal thermocouple (located 15 mm from the center of the ablation zone) reaches 50 °C and a 20 × 13 mm ablation zone when the distal thermocouple (located 10 mm from the center of the ablation zone) is 50 °C”.
