Comparison of magnetic resonance images and the histopathological findings of lesions induced by interstitial laser photocoagulation in the brain
Abstract
Interest has developed in using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to monitor the volume of tissue destroyed by interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP). In these experiments, ILP was induced in the normal brains of 9 anesthetized cats by delivering 1.5 W of continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser energy (1,064 nm) from a single 400-microns core optical fiber for 1,000 s. The irradiations were monitored using proton spin-echo MR imaging during and …
