INTER-COMMUNICATOR PROCESS FOR SIMULTANEOUS MRI THERMOGRAPHY AND RADIO FREQUENCY ABLATION

摘要

The novel method of monitoring radio frequency ablation of cancer tissues by temperature mapping using magnetic resonance thermography, is described. The invention further provides a method of rapid cycling between radio frequency ablation signaling and magnetic resonance image collection that minimizes interference and allows accurate image gathering and effective tissue ablation. Furthermore, the invention provides a method of reducing destruction of healthy surrounding tissue while destroying tumor tissue by radio frequency ablation.
