摘要:
A therapeutic apparatus comprising a high intensity focused ultrasound system (302) for sonicating a sonication volume (324) of a subject (320). The therapeutic apparatus further comprises a magnetic resonance imaging system (300) for acquiring magnetic resonance thermometry data (350) within an imaging volume (316). The sonication volume is within the imaging volume. The therapeutic apparatus further comprises a controller (304) for controlling the therapeutic apparatus. The treatment plan comprises instructions for controlling the operation of the high intensity focused ultrasound system. The controller is adapted for sonicating (100) the target volume using the high intensity focused ultrasound system. The controller is adapted for repeatedly acquiring (102) magnetic resonance thermometry data using the magnetic resonance imaging system during execution of the treatment plan. The controller is adapted for modifying (104) the treatment plan during execution of the treatment plan using the magnetic resonance thermometry data.
