'ablation' is a correct and usable word in written English.
You can use it to refer to the surgical removal of tissue, or more generally to mean the removal or reduction of something. Example: "The doctor recommended ablation of the affected tissue to reduce the pain."
Dr Oleynikov has already used his robots to carry out a number of operations on pigs, including gall-bladder removals, liver biopsies and the ablation of tumours.
Mr Jeelani says that the glacier is in "ablation"—shrinking through melting.
Though they may remain in those macrophages for a long time, Dr West says that this longevity does not seem to cause problems.Nor is photothermal ablation the only way of heat-treating cancer cells.
That heats the particles up and cooks the tumour.This procedure, known as photothermal ablation, has undergone six years of animal testing.
Nanospectra is, however, now conducting trials at three medical centres in Texas on people with head and neck cancers.One advantage of photothermal ablation is the lack of a chemical agent.
Glaciers in intermediate climates have intermediate equilibrium-line altitudes, accumulation or ablation totals, and activity indices.
Recoil from the ablation implodes the inner layer, producing a shock wave that compresses the inner layers of the D-T fuel.
The research he performed during the early 1920s elucidated the theory of the entry of high-speed bodies into the atmosphere and was fundamental to the understanding of ablation, the peeling back of meteor surfaces during vaporization.
The rate of accumulation and ablation on mountain glaciers depends on latitude, altitude, and distance downwind from sources of abundant moisture, such as the oceans.
This glacier contains only ablation and saturation zones; the winter chill is so slight that no superimposed ice is formed.
Equilibrium lines are lower than those in Washington state, but the rates of accumulation and ablation and the activity indices are about the same.
