Microwave ablation of hepatic malignant tumors using 1.5T MRI guidance and monitoring: feasibility and preliminary clinical experience.

Conclusion: MRI-guided and monitored microwave ablation of hepatic malignant tumors is feasible and potentially safe and effective.Key pointsMRI-guided microwave ablation of hepatic malignant tumors is feasible.The MRI monitoring scan could accurately reflect the scope of ablation lesion.On T1WI, the ablation lesions of liver showed the 'target sign'.
