We demonstrate a single interventional antenna that
combines high-resolution image-guided targeting, RF
ablation therapy, high-resolution thermometry, and
quantitative relaxation time mapping. Standard,
thermometric, and quantitative T

and
T

MRI
were performed in tissue samples in vitro and a rabbit
in vivo, before and after ablation using a 3T loopless
antenna. Spatial resolution was 200-300m with 6-8s
temporal resolution for thermometry. During ablation,
the probe delivered local heating of >85C resulting in
irreversible thermal injury and up to two-fold changes
in relaxation times post-ablation. The device could
serve as a complete detection, thermal therapy and
monitoring vehicle for MRI-guided intervention.
