By using flexible tubing which worked as a plasma generator and also a MR imaging antenna, we introduced a two-in-one technology for colorectal cancer treatment and assessment. In this work, the feasibility and safety of atmospheric cold plasma working under in vivo was verified. MR imaging was used as a technology to track the position of plasma tubing and image the peripheral tissue. This two-in-one technology presents an innovative method for potential colorectal cancer treatment and assessment.
