“…The ILP (thermal) lesions at 1064 nm were typical in appearance and are similar to those described previously [16,18]. Briefly, for plane-cut fiber tips, the center of the lesion typically is a defect of dimension 2-3 mm, circumscribed by caramelization, charring and vacuolation in cases where charring has occurred, as shown in Figure 3.…”

“…It is based upon the local delivery of low-level heat (approximately 50°C) over a period of about 10 minutes. A percutaneous approach is used to place a laser fiber within the lesion using imaging guidance [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The extent of tissue destruction is a function of fiber position and the temperature gradients created with the interaction of the laser and the cellular components of the tissue.…”

“…The extent of tissue destruction is a function of fiber position and the temperature gradients created with the interaction of the laser and the cellular components of the tissue. The necrotic tissue that is created by ILP subsequently heals by resorption, regeneration, and/or fibrosis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Within the first 48 h after treatment, the lesion can expand to approximately 1.5 times its original volume and remain enlarged for up to 40 days (mean 10 days) [9,10]. The perivascular changes and subsequent edema in the peripheral zone appear to be responsible for this expansion in volume [65]. …”

MRI-Guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy in Neuro-Oncology: A Review of Its Current Clinical Applications

Magnetic resonance imaging-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive treatment modality with recent increasing use to ablate brain tumors. When originally introduced in the late 1980s, the inability to precisely monitor and control the thermal ablation limited the adoption of LITT in neuro-oncology. Popularized as a means of destroying malignant hepatic and renal metastatic lesions percutaneously, its selective thermal tumor destruction and preservation of adjacent normal tissues have since been optimized for use in neuro-oncology. The progress made in real-time thermal imaging with MRI, laser probe design, and computer algorithms predictive of tissue kill has led to the resurgence of interest in LITT as a means to ablate brain tumors. Current LITT systems offer a surgical option for some inoperable brain tumors. We discuss the origins, principles, current indications, and future directions of MRI-guided LITT in neuro-oncology.
