The purpose of this study was to evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) temperature imaging of
the laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) comparing the proton resonance frequency (PRF) …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MR) is the most sensitive modality for monitoring interstitial
thermotherapy (ILT). A real-time pulse sequence that assigns a colour spectrum to grey …

In this work the temperature dependence of the proton resonance frequency was assessed
in agarose gel with a high melting temperature (95 C) and in porcine liver in vitro at …

Precise control of tissue temperature during Laser-Induced Thermotherapy (LITT)
procedures has the potential to improve the clinical efficiency and safety of such minimally …
