Abstract: A computing device includes a thermal map generator (142) that generates a thermal map for image data voxels or pixels representing a volume or region of interest of a subject based on thermometry image data, which includes voxels or pixels indicating a change in a temperature in the volume or region of interest, and a predetermined change in value to temperature lookup table (144) and a display (145) that visually presents the thermal map in connection with image data of the volume of interest. A method includes generating a thermal map for image data voxels or pixels representing a volume or region of interest of a subject based on thermometry image data, which includes voxels or pixels indicating a change in a temperature in the volume or region of interest, and a predetermined change in voxel or pixel value to temperature lookup table.

Abstract: A system (100) includes a CT scanner (101) with a radiation source (108) that emits radiation the traverses an examination region (112), a radiation sensitive detector array (110), located opposite the source across the examination region, which detects radiation traversing the examination region and a portion of a subject therein and generates a signal indicative thereof, and a subject support (114) that positions the subject in the examination. A HIFU apparatus (124) includes an ultrasound probe (126). A main controller (142) controls an operation of both the CT scanner and the HIFU apparatus. A treatment navigator (140) visually presents, in a graphical user interface, CT data of a location of the ultrasound probe with respect to at least one fiducial marker of the HIFU apparatus and obtained by the CT scanner overlaid over a previously generated HIFU procedure plan.
