title = "Characterization of laser-induced thermal response of nanoshells for cancer treatment using magnetic-resonance temperature imaging",
abstract = "Laser induced thermal therapy is used in conjunction with gold coated silica core nanoshells and magneticresonance temperature imaging (MRTI). The nanoshells are embedded in phantom or in vivo tumors and heat preferentially compared to surrounding tissue when the laser is applied. The tissues thermal response is varied by either the laser power or the nanoshell concentration. In this way precise control of the heating can be achieved. This results in the ability to quantitatively monitor therapeutic temperature changes that occur in a spatiotemporally controlled way. This provides an unprecedented means proscribing and monitoring a treatment in real time and the ability to make precise corrections when necessary.",
