Accurate temperature monitoring during cancer hyperthermia therapy is crucial. This study demonstrates molecular diffusion MRI accurately measures temperatures in phantoms, vital for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Therapeutic Technologies

Background:

  • Accurate temperature monitoring is essential for effective and safe cancer hyperthermia treatment.
  • Current methods for temperature measurement can be invasive or limited in spatial resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the use of molecular diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for precise temperature mapping in hyperthermia applications.
  • To develop and test a novel hyperthermia applicator integrated with MRI.

Main Methods:

  • A specialized applicator combining MRI gradient and radiofrequency coils was designed.
  • Diffusion-weighted MRI sequences were employed on a polyacrylamide gel phantom using a clinical 1.5-T MRI system.
  • Temperature-sensitive diffusion data was processed to generate temperature images with 1x2 mm pixel resolution.

Main Results:

  • Temperature images derived from molecular diffusion MRI showed high spatial resolution.
  • Temperatures measured using diffusion MRI within 1 cm² regions of interest agreed within 0.2°C of thermocouple and fiber-optic probe measurements.
  • The integrated applicator enabled simultaneous hyperthermia delivery and MRI-based temperature monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • Molecular diffusion MRI is a viable, non-invasive technique for accurate temperature monitoring during hyperthermia cancer therapy.
  • This approach offers improved spatial resolution for temperature mapping compared to conventional methods.
  • The developed integrated applicator system shows promise for clinical translation in hyperthermia treatments.
