Summary

During a cryosurgical therapy unhealthy tissue is destroyed by local freezing, with vacuum-insulated cryoprobes. The ice formation at the probe tip can be monitored intraoperatively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). First clinical animal experiments were performed to visualize ice formation by MRI. The results show the excellent imaging properties of the developed equipment and the MRI-system for the efficient control of a interstitial cryosurgical therapy.
