A laser fiber was delivered via a catheter inserted through a perineal template and guided to the target with MRI. The tissue temperature was monitored during laser ablation by MRI thermometry. Accumulated thermal damage was calculated in real time. Immediate post-treatment contrast-enhanced MRI confirmed devascularization of the target. No adverse events were noted. MRI-guided focal laser therapy of low-risk PCa is feasible and may offer a good balance between cancer control and side effects.
These results suggest that neuronal and membrane functions are important for rapid auditory processing. This investigation provides a first link between the electrophysiology, as recorded by magnetoencephalography, and the neurochemistry, as assessed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, of the auditory cortex.
