Synopsis
Temperature monitoring plays an essential role in transcranial MR-guided focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) surgery for measuring thermal dose at the target. Unintended heating of the skull and nearby brain tissue is not currently monitored. By using a two-echo 3D spiral ultra-short echo time (UTE) sequence, we demonstrate a method that combines T1-mapping and proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift thermometry to simultaneously monitor skull and brain heating and validate it in an in vitro model.
