During Laser Induced Thermal Therapy (LITT) of soft tissue metastases in bone, investigators will collect and analyze magnetic resonance thermal imaging (MRTI) data to determine the correlation between observed temperatures determined from MRTI and the actual size of ablation as determined by post-ablation contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

1: Experimental
Laser Ablation + Magnetic Resonance Thermal Imaging
|
Procedure: Laser Ablation
Laser ablation procedure taking about 1-3 hours, depending on the size and location of the tumor.
Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Thermal Imaging
MRTI will be used to monitor the temperature within the ablation zone during the laser ablation.
