Figure Lengend Snippet: A (i) Mouse injected with U-87 MG glioma cells, (ii) tumor growth over the period of 12 days (iii) after euthanasia, tumor is injected with AuNRs; B Volumetric OA reconstruction of heat distribution during localized tumor heating; C Tumor heating with a CW laser (8 W/cm 2 , 1064 nm) shown at four different time points from both top and lateral perspectives; D Thermal profile of tumor heating for four different intensities of the CW laser and indicating the four sampled time points shown in ( C ); E Tumor ablation with a CW laser (16 W/cm 2 , 1064 nm) shown at two different time points from both top and lateral perspectives; F OA intensity profile within a region containing the AuNR, indicating the two sampled time points shown in ( E ); G Tumor H&E histology post localized ablation (yellow area) showing ablation zone of thermal coagulation necrosis compared to untreated tumor region in the blue area. The figure was partly created using BioRender.
