Key Points

To assess the effectiveness of MR temperature imaging in predicting outcomes during focused ultrasound thalamotomy.
Utilized MR thermal imaging to estimate heating during thalamotomy
Combined imaging with anatomical visualization of the thalamus
Evaluated thermal dose in different orientations
MR thermal imaging provided results comparable to traditional lesion segmentations
Enhanced visualization aided in real-time monitoring of focused ultrasound treatments
Successful optimization of tremor control and reduction of side effects observed

Implication

Demonstrates real-time monitoring of focused ultrasound treatments for tremors, suggesting improved control and reduced side effects.
