This study presents a simple, preliminary, real-time temperature processing method for determining pre-treatment baseline library size recommendations for Hybrid MB+R Thermometry. Temperature data collected from 3 volunteer brain scans are analyzed using the real-time method to produce recommendations that are consistent with retrospective analysis. If implemented clinically, this method shows promise as a practical approach to ensuring sufficient baselines are collected pre-treatment to improve temperature estimates, while minimizing the amount of time spent scanning.
