Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers superior soft-tissue contrast for oncologic interventions. This review details MRI-guided biopsy, cryoablation, focused ultrasound, and brachytherapy techniques for interventional radiologists.

Area of Science:

  • Oncologic Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Interventional radiology is crucial for diagnosing and treating oncologic disorders.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides excellent soft-tissue contrast and multiplanar visualization.
  • MRI offers advantages like real-time temperature monitoring and no ionizing radiation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the rationale for using MRI in interventional oncology.
  • To focus on technical aspects of specific MRI-guided oncologic interventions.
  • To provide a primer for interventional radiologists on MRI-guided procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of MRI capabilities for interventional oncology.
  • Discussion of technical aspects for biopsy, cryoablation, focused ultrasound, and brachytherapy.
