• Magnetic resonance allows precise positioning of cryoprobes with real-time imaging. • High-resolution MRI allows excellent monitoring of the developing ice ball. • Cryoablation of prostate cancer under MR guidance is technically feasible. • Further work will refine the procedure and make it even safer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
