  • MRI-based temperature mapping with error compensation
    Patent number: 6559644
    Abstract: Magnetic resonance temperature change monitoring of a heated portion of a tissue mass undergoing thermal treatment is more accurately accomplished by compensating for false temperature change measurements caused by movement of the mass and/or temporal changes of the magnetic field during the thermal MR Imaging, wherein the compensation is based on subtracting out “apparent temperature change” measurements of one or more unheated portions of the tissue mass located in a neighborhood of the heated portion, which form a temperature bias map of the tissue mass region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2003
    Assignee: InSightec - TxSonics Ltd.
