BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that produces real-time thermal damage estimates of ablation (TDE). Orthogonal TDE-MRI slices provides an opportunity to mathematically estimate ablation volume. OBJECTIVE To mathematically model TDE volumes and validate with post-24 hours MRI ablation volumes. METHODS Ablations were performed with the Visualase Laser Ablation System (Medtronic). Using ellipsoidal parameters determined for dual-TDEs from orthogonal MRI planes, TDE volumes were calculated by two definite integral methods (A and B) implemented in Matlab (MathWorks). Post 24-hours MRI ablative volumes were measured in OsiriX (Pixmeo) by two-blinded raters and compared to TDE volumes via paired t-tests and Pearson’s correlations. RESULTS Twenty-two ablations for 20 patients with various intracranial pathologies were included. Average TDE volumes calculated with Method A was 3.44 ± 1.96 cm3 and with Method B was 4.83 ± 1.53 cm3. Method A TDE volumes were significantly different than post-24 hours volumes (P &amp;lt; 0.001). Method B TDE volumes were not significantly different than post-24 hours volumes (P = 0.39) and strongly correlated with each other (r = 0.85, R2 = 0.72, P &amp;lt; 0.0001). A total of 8/22 (36%) method A versus 17/22 (77%) method B TDE volumes were within 25% of the post 24-hours ablative volume. CONCLUSION We present the first iteration of a viable mathematical method that integrates dual-plane TDEs to calculate volumes resembling 24 hours post-operative volumes. Future iterations of our algorithm will need to determine additional calculated variables that improve the performance of volumetric calculations.
