Percutaneous interstitial microwave thermoablation of locally recurrent prostate carcinoma was continually guided with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Phase images and data were obtained with a rapid gradient-echo technique and were used to derive tissue temperature change on the basis of proton-resonance shift. Thermally devitalized regions correlated well with the phase image findings. MR imaging-derived temperatures were linearly related to the fluoroptic tissue temperatures. MR imaging can be used to guide thermoablation.
