Synopsis
In microwave ablation (MWA), heat induced susceptibility changes impair the assessment of the ablation zones using proton resonance frequency shift based magnetic resonance (MR) thermometry. In this work, these heat related field changes were modelled to improve the accuracy of MR thermometry to monitor microwave ablation. In a study of hepatic MWA in an in-vivo swine model, the proposed method provided increased accuracy to assess the ablation zone compared to uncorrected MR thermometry.
