MR-guided HIFU liver cancer surgery (six rabbits were used in each group). (A) MR-guided HIFU alone. (B) MR-guided HIFU + pure PLGA microcapsules. (C) MR-guided HIFU + PLGA-coated Fe3O4 microcapsules. (A 1 / B 1 /C 1 ) T2-weighted images of the targeted tissue before MR-guided HIFU ablation (the green circle indicates the tumor site). (A 2 / B 2 / C 2 ) T2-weighted images of the targeted tissue at 5 min after the injection of different agents (the red circle identifies the region that HIFU was focused upon). (A 3 , B 3 , C 3 ) Tissue temperature mapping during MR-guided HIFU ablation. minT, minimum temperature; avgT, average temperature; maxT, maximum temperature.
