For focused ultrasound procedures, the ability to
perform thermometry on the entire heated volume is
desirable in order to ensure focal spot location and to
monitor for off-focus, spurious heating. Here, we have
developed a rapid volumetric thermometry sequence based
on a stack-of-spirals gradient echo acquisition, with a
redundant-in/out method used to impart improved
off-resonance performance. This sequence was tested and
validated with a real-time reconstruction during focused
ultrasound sonication of a gelatin phantom.
