MR Thermometry during Transcranial MR Imaging-Guided Focused Ultrasound Procedures: A Review.

Interest in transcranial MR imaging-guided focused ultrasound procedures has recently grown. These incisionless procedures enable precise focal ablation of brain tissue using real-time monitoring by MR thermometry. This article will provide an updated review on clinically applicable technical underpinnings and considerations of proton resonance frequency MR thermometry, the most common clinically used MR thermometry sequence.
