Abstract

We applied diffusion‐sensitive echo planar (Instascan) imaging to study thermal changes caused by a Nd:YAG laser. Images of phantom materials and normal rabbit brain tissue in vivo, acquired in 150 ms, every 2 s, clearly showed the dynamics of temperature‐related signal intensity changes in the regions irradiated by the laser.

MR-guided interstitial thermotherapy offers a minimally invasive treatment for localized tumors and tissue structures exhibiting functional abnormalities. In this study, microwaves (2.45 GHz) were used for tissue irradiation to overcome some limitations of the heating sources used so far. To this e

The application of real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to cardiac imaging is particularly attractive because current MR examinations of left ventricular (LV) function can be prohibitively long and are dependent on electrocardiographic triggering. We conducted a study of the minimum
