Abstract: This paper hypothesizes that a combination of long-duration, retraced spiral sampling strategy and an energy-based variation of multi-frequency reconstruction will improve MR thermometry spatial coverage and precision for MR-guided focused ultrasound applications. We develop this thermometry method through MRI performance characterization, focused ultrasound sonications in phantoms, and MRI thermometry scans in healthy volunteers.
