“…MR imaging gives an excellent visualisation of the frozen region (43). Due to the ultra-short T2* relaxation time of frozen tissue a sharp border can be seen between the non-frozen tissue and the signal-void of the frozen tissue (44)(45)(46)(47)(48).…”

MRI is a unique tool for minimally invasive thermal ablation in that it can provide both targeting, monitoring and control during the procedure. Monitoring is achieved by using MRI temperature mapping. In this review the relevant physics is explained as a background to the state-of-the-art methods for computing temperature maps as well as the more cutting edge methods. The review covers both methods to monitor heating and cooling of tissue and explains temperature mapping using Proton Resonance Frequency shift, T1 mapping, diffusion mapping, R2* mapping and thermal models.

“…With MRI guidance, real time 3D graphic presentation of ablation volume can be clearly available 76 . Thermal mapping based on the characteristic of energy source can be relatively accurately predicted 77 . Advancement of those imaging modalities in the future may, also, precisely delineate the tumour location within the gland.…”

Both benign and malignant conditions affecting prostate gland are very common in elderly men. However, the conventional treatment of these conditions can be associated with significant side effects and complications, and less invasive treatment alternative has been always searched for. Because of the anatomical location and easy accessibility of prostate, many newer treatment modalities using thermal ablation have been applied to the organ. These include not only heating of the pathological tissue but also freezing. Some of such treatment techniques have shown to be effective and safe and been clinically used widely. In this review article, various tissue ablation techniques using temperature change applied to prostate gland are covered. Each procedure's advantages and disadvantages are compared and discussed.
