Abstract The objective of this study was to develop and test a murine system for delivery laser interstitial thermotherapy (LITT). A built that allows stereotactic placement the into mouse brain real-time thermometry with custom-made thermometer holder. Tissue heating curves Laserglow Technologies 1064nm experiments testing tissue were performed by placing in temperature monitoring via thermal ...

abstract background: osteoid osteoma is a benign bony neoplasm and its classic treatment is surgery. in the r ecent decades percutaneous laser therapy was suggested to be replaced by surgery. in this study we have reviewed the results of the first applications of interstitial laser photocoagulation (ilp) for treatment of osteoid osteoma in iranian patients. materials and methods: in this case s...

Image-guided percutaneous local therapy using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) has been used in liver tumours and non-hepatic lesions (e.g. osteoid osteoma) for several years [1–4]. It has been shown to be effective and safe and can usually be performed under local anaesthesia. Recently, percutaneous tumour ablation has also been introduced for l...

In the past few years, great improvements have been made to achieve local tumour control of primary liver malignancies and liver metastases. For hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) and tumour ablation techniques, including percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), radiofrequency ablation (RF), and laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) have been developed...

Tumor ablation is a minimally invasive technique used to deliver chemical, thermal, electrical, or ultrasonic damage to a specific focal tumor in an attempt to achieve substantial tumor destruction or complete eradication. As the technology continues to advance, several image-guided tumor ablations have emerged to effectively manage primary and secondary malignancies in the liver. Percutaneous ...

AIM A pilot study of the feasibility of using dye laser thermotherapy (LTT) at a subcoagulation temperature to occlude newly formed vessels in patients with age related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in 24 eyes with exudative AMD was treated with a continuous wave yellow laser at 578 nm. Parameters were an exposure time of 2 or 5 seconds, a spot size of...
