A Bio-Heat Transfer (BHT) model enhanced PRF method was introduced to improve the temporal resolution and to recover the lost signal caused by the susceptibility of probe in microwave ablation. Simulation results of MR-guided microwave ablation performed in an agar phantom show that the proposed method can recover the temperature map with the largest error less than 2°C and increase the temporal resolution to 1s or 0.5s with adequate computing capacity.
