MRI-guided cryoablation is a minimally invasive
treatment for renal cell carcinoma for eligible
patients. Currently, intra-procedural monitoring of
these procedures relies on a subjective assessment of
tumor margins and proximity to critical structures by
the interventionalist. Quantitative, computerized
methods of monitoring and measuring ablation performance
in real-time has the potential to improve the safety and
success of these procedures. We developed an integrated,
real-time intra-procedural monitoring software and
determined its feasibility and functionality for
cryoablation procedures.
