## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to establish a correlation between a thermal measurement and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal during laserβinduced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) in liver. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods Pig liver was irradiate
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Laserβinduced thermotherapy (LITT) is a promising treatment for irresectable liver tumors. To predict the effects of laser applications and to optimize treatment planning in LITT, it is essential to gain knowledge about light distribution in tissue, tissue o
