This study introduces a new method for creating accurate temperature maps during laser ablation, even with breathing motion. The technique significantly reduces artifacts, improving visualization of thermal effects in liver tissue.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Thermal Therapy

Background:

  • Accurate temperature mapping is crucial for effective thermal therapies like laser ablation.
  • Respiratory motion introduces significant artifacts in temperature maps, hindering treatment monitoring.
  • Existing methods struggle to compensate for variable respiratory motion during temperature acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel technique for acquiring temperature maps during laser ablation in the presence of respiratory motion.
  • To reduce motion-induced artifacts in temperature maps using proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift.
  • To compare the performance of the new technique against conventional methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized respiratory triggering and navigator echoes for diaphragm position determination.
