Integration of Laser induced thermal therapy (LITT) to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have created new options for treating surgically challenging tumors in locations that would otherwise have represented an intrinsic comorbidity by the approach itself. As new applications and variations of the use are discussed, we present a case-based review of the history, development, and subsequent updates of minimally invasive MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) ablation in pediatric brain tumors.
激光诱导热疗(LITT)与磁共振成像(MRI)的结合为治疗手术挑战性肿瘤提供了新的选择,这些肿瘤在其他情况下,由于手术本身的固有并发症,将无法进行治疗。随着新的应用和使用方式的讨论,我们呈现了一个基于病例的回顾,介绍了小儿脑肿瘤的微创性 MRI 引导激光间质热疗(MRgLITT)消融的历史、发展和后续更新。
