MRgFUS is a promising non-invasive technique with a wide range of applications; however, acquiring fully sampled 3D volumetric data with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution for adequate dose monitoring and guidance is difficult. Here, we present initial results using a 3D spiral sequence for MR thermometry and accelerate imaging in order to improve temporal resolution through the application of a Kalman filter.
