MR Thermometry and Hyperthermia: Is this the future for imaging in improving cancer treatment outcomes?!
Dear MRI Community,
In this new episode of the Everything MRI podcast, we explore the niche world of MR thermometry and hyperthermia therapy, two cutting-edge approaches that could shape the future of cancer treatment. Our guest expert, Spiros, who recently completed his PhD focusing on this area, shares valuable insights on how these procedures work, discussing MR requirements and presenting case studies that highlight their potential.
You will learn how MR thermometry enables clinicians to precisely measure tissue temperature in real-time, paving the way for controlled hyperthermia therapy. We will also discuss how this latter treatment can be used in conjunction with radiation and chemotherapy to improve effectiveness.
If you are interested in the latest cancer treatment innovations and the role MRI can play, this episode might be just what you are looking for! In addition, do not forget to 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 to our social media platforms: https://linktr.ee/everythingmri
