Initial experiences with MR Image-guided laparoscopic microwave coagulation therapy for hepatic tumors

Abstract: MR-guided laparoscopic microwave coagulation therapy is an effective treatment for hepatic tumors adjacent to other organs, as it allows for more accurate detection of lesions and for tumors to be treated safely while avoiding adjacent organs. It is less invasive than conventional procedures, because the MR real-time guidance enabled continuous monitoring throughout the procedure.

“…Yan Shi Yan et al [22] compared the treatment of real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound with that of standard ultrasound, and the real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound under laparoscope is more accurate in positioning liver lesions. There are also some scholars who use MRI [23], PET-MRI [24], robot guided [25] to locate the focus for treatment, but the clinical application is not extensive. Wu Wenbo et al [26] use the biological simulator to simulate the human body so that the surgeon can carry out surgery practice, which can not only enable the surgeon to understand the operation scheme for surgery simulation, but also shorten the learning curve.…”

“…Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a promising guiding method for MWA, with the advantages of arbitrary direction imaging, high tissue resolution, and unique temperature sensitivity [9][10][11]. However, general MWA systems are not compatible with MRI, and only a few institutes perform MRI-guided MWA [9,10]. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of MRI-guided and monitored ablation of hepatic malignant tumors using a MRI compatible MWA system.…”
