This study validated the feasibility of using 14 Tesla MRI to monitor mice cholangiocarcinoma response to radiofrequency heating(RFH)-enhance chemotherapy. Apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) is a very useful biomarker for predicting the response of cholangiocarcinoma to RFH-enhanced chemotheray, which was confirmed by subsequent MRI-histology correlation. This new technique may open new revenues for MRI monitored intrabiliary RFH-enhanced chemotherapy for pancreatobiliary malignancies.
