摘要
Experiments on the feasibility of X-ray monitoring of laser interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) of breast cancer are presented. Digital images of heated tissue phantoms (including fatty porcine tissue and polyacrylamide/acrylate hydrogel), obtained from an X-ray stereotactic biopsy system, were analyzed for changes in pixel intensity. Tissue phantoms were heated either by a 980 nm diode laser or by resistive heating elements in a custom-made chamber. Analysis was conducted by evaluating the changes in average pixel intensity of regions of interest. Image constancy and stability of the X-ray system were also investigated. Slight changes (<5%) dependent on the temperature of the tissue phantom were observed, while changes caused by heat-induced tissue displacement and/or shrinkage were more significant (> 10%).
