Cryosurgery of the skin is a common treatment for both benign and malignant skin cancers. Monitoring the depth of the frozen lesion during cryosurgery, either by estimation based on the lateral spread of freeze at the skin surface or via thermocouples, may be inaccurate because of the heterogeneous nature of tissue. We describe an integrated cryosurgical probe and magnitude resonance imaging probe which we use to obtain high resolution MR images of skin, subcutaneous muscle and the frozen lesion during cryosurgery.
