Purpose of the Study:
- To outline technical requirements for percutaneous MRI-guided cryoablation in closed-bore systems.
- To discuss advantages and disadvantages of this technique.
- To summarize existing literature findings.
Main Methods:
- Narrative review of scientific literature.
- Focus on percutaneous cryoablation under MRI guidance.
- Analysis of closed-bore MRI system requirements.
Main Results:
- Cryoablation is increasingly utilized for MRI-guided interventions.
- Specific technical considerations are crucial for successful procedures.
- Literature provides data on efficacy and safety.
Conclusions:
- Percutaneous MRI-guided cryoablation is a valuable tool.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
