What does MR guidance provide?

• - 3D anatomic information for tumor

targeting

• - Beam path representation for safe

treatment

MR-guided Feed back loop control

Temporal analysis of the temperature control with the minimum, mean, and maximum temperature of 195 voxels regulated at 14°C during 100 s.

Ultrasonic speckle motion detection :

• Sound Speed variations– Apparent displacement of scatterers

• Thermal Expansion– Physical displacement of scatterers

a : thermal expansion coefficient

• Temperature versus scatterers displacement
