Post-LITT CeLV expansion is quantifiable and resolves within 6 months of LITT. Development of response assessment criteria for LITT-treated lesions is feasible and should be considered for clinical trials. Automated lesion segmentation could speed adoption of volumetric response criteria in clinical practice.
