Evaluation of the correlation between infrared thermal imaging-magnetic resonance imaging-pathology of microwave ablation of lesions in rabbit lung tumors.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between infrared thermal imaging-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-pathology of microwave ablation (MWA) of lesions in rabbit lung tumors.

Materials And Methods: MR-guided MWA was performed in nine VX2 tumor-bearing rabbits. Infrared thermal imaging, postoperative MRI, and pathological presentation were obtained and analyzed.
