We have implemented a real-time MR thermometry-guided system for ultrasound hyperthermia delivery within user-defined regions and validated it in phantom experiments. It was based on the commercial ExAblate prostate transducer, RTHawk real-time MRI system and featured accelerated PRFS MR thermometry and automated steering of the ultrasound focus to ensure uniform heating of the entire region of treatment.
