Implication

Offers preclinical support for T1 lesion characterization; leaves open human translation and clinical utility.

Key Points

To assess whether intrinsic T1 magnetic resonance imaging contrast can differentiate central tissue necrosis from peripheral edema in acute radiofrequency ablation lesions.
Evaluated tissue contrast characteristics using T1-weighted imaging across acute radiofrequency ablation injury zones.
T1 contrast qualitatively demarcates necrotic cores from the surrounding edematous rims in acute ablation zones.
