We have developed and evaluated a real-time MR thermometry-guided system for acoustic power output and beam pattern control for prostate hyperthermia therapy. It was designed to be integrated with a commercial focused ultrasound ablation system and supports real-time ultrasound phase pattern switching and MR thermometry for monitoring and automated power adjustment.
