Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0135825A1] This invention is a system for selectively applying heat (30) to destroy tumorous tissue (66) while using a double echo line scan sequence (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64) generating two parallel scrolling displays during the heat therapy. One of the displays provides a temperature map, and the other display provides images of tissue damage by showing tissue intensity values.
