Abstract

See full text

An MRI system acquires NMR image data to produce real time anatomic images as an ablation device is guided into contact with target tissues in a patient to be thermally treated. The ablation device includes a resistive element at its operating end which receives alternating current from an ablation control system. The resistive element produces therapeutic heat that treats the target tissues.
