A very good single needle microwave. I have used this many times to treat liver tumours and it produces a reliable elliptical burn rapidly ( ie in 3-4 mins).
Limitations are the suboptimal visiblity of the needle under ultrasound and the feedpoint for the microwave is 2cm from the tip of the needle.
