Synopsis

Keywords: Interventional Devices, MR-Guided Interventions, LaserPercutaneous clinical ablation devices usually create a heating pattern with an ellipsoid shape. Output power and duration of application are the only degrees of freedom, which does not allow creating conformal ablation. To overcome this limitation, we designed a Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) device allowing creating various heating patterns. We present here in vivo results in pig muscle monitored by real-time 2D multi-slice MR-thermometry.
