Objective: Radiofrequency ablation is emerging as a therapeutic technique for the treatment of an increasing variety of tumors. Exact visual guidance to the tumor and controlled delivery of energy is pivotal for ablation success.
Conclusion: Introducing MRI as a guidance technique ideally uses tumor-specific tissue characteristics, allows direct multiplanar reconstruction for precise needle positioning, and permits real-time monitoring and assessment of treatment-induced tissue signal changes to increase the safety of the procedure.
