Methods for 3D intracranial treatment envelope
evaluations for magnetic resonance guided focused
ultrasound applications are described. A 3D segmented
echo planar imaging pulse sequence is used to acquire
k-space data that is subsampled in the ky-phase encode
direction with a reductions factor of R=4. The data is
reconstructed with a temporally constrained
reconstruction algorithm and temperature maps are
created with the proton resonance frequency shift
method. The 3D treatment envelope is evaluated in terms
of relative near-field heating, and hydrophone scans are
used to investigate amount of phase aberration and
intensity loss due to US-focusing through the skull
bone.
