CONCLUSION: A free-breathing 3D stack-of-stars gradient echo sequence can simplify the workflow and reduce intervention time, while providing superior image quality. Under local anesthesia, it increases patient comfort and reduces potential risks for needle dislocations in MR-guided liver interventions by avoiding respiratory arrests for needle position control.

Minimally-invasive thermal ablation procedures have become clinically accepted treatment options for tumors and metastases. Continuous and reliable monitoring of volumetric heat distribution promises to be an important condition for successful outcomes. In this work, an adaptive bioheat transfer simulation of 3D thermometry maps is presented. Pennes’ equation model is updated according to temperature maps generated…
