Why the study?
Does real-time MRI accurately visualize and monitor cardiac radiofrequency ablation lesions compared to postmortem histology in healthy dogs?
Does real-time MRI accurately visualize and monitor cardiac radiofrequency ablation lesions compared to postmortem histology in healthy dogs?
Real-time MRI can accurately visualize and monitor the spatial and temporal extent of cardiac radiofrequency ablation lesions in vivo, correlating well with histological findings.
