Characterization of ablation dimensions in magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy via a semi-automated algorithm

Objective: Magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is a minimally invasive procedure that produces real-time thermal damage estimates (TDE) in orthogonal MRI-planes. The current system does not allow the user to quantify the TDE during the ablation process. We aim to c...
