Background and Objective: Interstitial Laser Photocoagulation (ILP) is a minimally invasive cancer treatment technique, whereby optical energy from implanted optical fibers is used to therapeutically heat small, solid tumors. In this work, the potential of ILP without tissue charring is investigated

Endocardial coagulation lesions were created using transcatheter continuous-wave NdYAG laser irradiation. Ultrasound monitoring of thermal lesion dimensions was performed using 7.5-MHz and 10-MHz transducers directly from the epicardial surface in short-axis configuration (group A) or through the ch
Background and Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging's (MRI) potential to monitor interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) has been previously demonstrated and is further tested here with improved spatial and temporal resolution. Study DesigniMaterials and Methods: In vivo experiments employed fibe
