A 3D multi-contrast MRI pulse sequence is presented here as a novel method for performing Acoustic Radiation Force Imaging simultaneously with Proton Resonance Frequency thermometry. This could be used, for example, to safely localize the ultrasound focal in three dimensions before an MR guided Focused Ultrasound treatment while simultaneously measuring the induced temperature rise.
