The lack of a technique for MR thermometry near metallic hardware excludes a growing patient population from MR-guided focused ultrasound treatments. In this work, we explore the temperature-induced signal change in fast two-dimensional multi-spectral imaging for monitoring sonications near metallic hardware. We demonstrate initial feasibility in phantom and ex vivo experiments as well as a patient treatment.
