| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - Thermal conductivity is lower in lung than in other tissues, such as bone, liver, and kidney due to its high percentage of air by volume.15 Lower thermal conductivity of aerated lung would be expected to limit heat transfer into tissues adjacent to solid pulmonary masses, and if true, this could prevent adequate ablation of infiltrative margins or satellite tumors at the periphery of lung lesions.
