Figure 5

MRI images of the ablation line. The image on the left was taken using a non-cardiac gating FSE sequence. This is a cross-sectional view (perpendicular to the ablation line) of the ablated lesion (arrow) with three distinct areas. There is an inner area with low intensity (#), middle area with intermediate intensity (&) and an outer rim area with low intensity (*). The image on the right is a section along the length of a linear ablation line with gap taken using a T2-weighted Triple IR FSE sequence. The ablated areas are dark (arrows) and the gap in the middle is bright in appearance.
