Simultaneous estimation of SAR, thermal diffusivity, and damping using periodic power modulation for MRgFUS quality assurance

AbstractPurpose: A crucial aspect of quality assurance in thermal therapy is periodic demonstration of the heating performance of the device. Existing methods estimate the specific absorption rate (SAR) from the temperature rise after a short power pulse, which yields a biased estimate as thermal di...
