Imaging Changes and Clinical Outcome after MR-Guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy
MRgLITT can achieve good local control in metastatic brain lesions and should be considered early during follow-up after radiosurgery when local failure is suspected. The enhancing lesion extends beyond the tip of the catheter and enlarges during the first month post-ablation before gradually decreasing in size. Failure to decrease in size after 3 months or appearance of a nodular enhancement should raise suspicion of local failure.
