In vivo optimisation study for multi-baseline MR-based thermometry in the context of hyperthermia using MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound for head and neck applications

摘要

Purpose: In this in vivo study, the feasibility to perform hyperthermia treatments in the head and neck using magnetic resonance image-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) was established using a porcine acute model.
