Recent work reported spatially related errors in temperature maps and TD during power application, while using 2D GRE-EPI PRFS imaging with orthogonal interleaved slices (1). We demonstrate that RFA induced cavitation’s effects are the primary source of errors in PRFS imaging using truly simultaneous ultrasonography and MRI.
