Response to and control of destructive energy by magnetic resonance.
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.
