A novel method for accelerated multi-coil Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MRgHIFU) thermometry is presented. This method integrates the two powerful approaches of parallel imaging and Compressed Sensing (CS), and reconstructs temperature rise from sub-sampled k-space data. The proposed reconstruction process utilizes the sparsity of the differences between baseline and post-heating data and operates in a calibrationless manner. The method was validated through a retrospective study of data from a 8-coils in-vivo human prostate treatment and a 2-coils animal experiment.
