ABSTRACT

Magnetic resonance imaging techniques can be used to control and monitor the deposition of destructive energy. The authors evaluated the feasibility of phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the control, monitoring, and prediction of the three-dimensional extent of tissue destruction during interstitial laser surgery. Characteristic metabolic changes were demonstrated within the lesion and in the adjacent normal tissue during the deposition of thermal energy.
