Objectives To develop, test and evaluate improved 2D and 3D protocols for proton
resonance frequency shift magnetic resonance temperature imaging (MRTI) of laser …

BACKGROUND: Laser-induced thermal therapy is a promising tool in the neurosurgeon's
armamentarium. This methodology has seen a resurgence in application as a result of …

Laser thermal therapy uses near-infrared optical energy to heat and thereby treat diseased
tissues such as solid tumors. A method to monitor the progress of laser thermal therapy by …

Focusing heat delivery while minimizing collateral damage to normal tissues is essential for
successful nanoparticle-mediated laser-induced thermal cancer therapy. We present …

The integration of medical-image guidance in medicine can enable the adaption of novel
minimally-invasive surgeries and therapies. Thermal-coagulation therapy is a procedure that …

MR-guided thermal therapies, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) and
laser-induced thermal therapy (MRgLITT) are increasingly being applied in oncology and …

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance–guided, laser-induced thermal therapy is a real-time
magnetic resonance thermometry–guided, minimally invasive procedure used in the …

MR techniques have been demonstrated to allow a reliable monitoring of laser‐induced
interstitial thermotherapy (LITT). However, an adequate on‐line control of this coagulation …

Minimally invasive thermal therapy as local treatment of benign and malignant diseases has
received increasing interest in recent years. Safety and efficacy of the treatment require …
