The invention relates to a system in the field of MR guided thermal treatment and more specifically to the temperature control. In the invention an MR and a thermal treatment system are combined. The thermal treatment system is configured to apply thermal treatment pulses to a subject. The prevent overheating of healthy tissue, the thermal treatment pulses are spaced by a cool-down period. The end of the cool-down period is determined by temperature measurements performed during the cool-down period.
