Predicting liver ablation volumes with real-time MRI thermometry

Heat-based ablation is an established treatment for liver tumors; however, there is a considerable rate of incomplete treatment because of the lack of real-time visualization of the treated area during treatment. Our results show that MRI-guided ablation enables the visualization of the treatment area in real-time with high accuracy using a special technique of MR thermometry in patients with liver tumors.

Abstract

Heat-based ablation is an established treatment for liver tumors; however, there is a considerable rate of incomplete treatment because of the lack of real-time visualization of the treated area during treatment. Our results show that MRI-guided ablation enables the visualization of the treatment area in real-time with high accuracy using a special technique of MR thermometry in patients with liver tumors.
