Article Title: MR thermometry-guided ultrasound hyperthermia of user-defined regions using the ExAblate prostate ablation array

doi: 10.1186/s40349-018-0115-5

Figure Lengend Snippet: Control flow diagram of the MR thermometry-based hyperthermia delivery system. The RTHawk research platform acquires and reconstructs the real-time MRI data. The real-time MR thermometry application generates temperature maps. The beam controller samples temperature values within a grid of ROIs and controls the focus and power output of the ultrasound beam, ensuring constant and uniform heating within the region of treatment. The control proxy server relays commands from the beam controller to the manufacturer’s ultrasound control software

Article Snippet: The hyperthermia delivery system was based on an InSightec ExAblate 2100 prostate focused ultrasound ablation system, and HeartVista’s RTHawk real-time MRI system integrated with a 3 T MRI scanner.

Figure Lengend Snippet: MRgHIFU for uterine fibroid treatment. (A) Schematic drawing of MRgHIFU treatment of uterine fibroids with Sonalleve or ExAblate 2000. Diagnostic T2- and T1-weighted contrast-enhanced (gadolinium) images are shown of patients with hyper- and dysmenorrhea and Funaki type 1 fibroid before (B, white arrow) and after (C, black circle) MRgHIFU. Fibroid volume is 184 mL; treatment duration is up to 4 h. w = weighted.
