MR techniques have been demonstrated to allow a reliable monitoring of laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT). However, an adequate on-line control of this coagulation technique requires an exact therapy planning. The latter is mandatory to interpret the MR-monitoring data correctly to guar

The purpose of this study was the application of the proton-resonance-frequency method to monitor laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) in a patient with an astrocytoma WHO II. A phase-sensitive two-dimensional (2D) fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequence was used to determine the temperature
