Magnetic Resonance Imaging Guidance for Tumor Ablation

摘要: Since the late 1980s, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been added to ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) as a cross-sectional tool that can be used guide interventional diagnosis treatment of variety disorders. Due its superior soft tissue contrast, multiplanar capabilities, lack ionizing radiation, and, most importantly, ability image function temperatures, MRI suggested ideal minimally invasive therapies (1,2). Nevertheless, when concept percutaneous MRI-guided tumor ablation was first introduced, restricted patient access limited spatial temporal resolution with conventional high- mid-field systems widespread use. Technical advances in both open-configuration magnet design development fast gradient-echo pulse sequences have contributed substantially an increasing interest interventions
