Evaluation and selection of anatomic sites for magnetic resonance imaging-guided mild hyperthermia therapy: a healthy volunteer study.

CONCLUSIONS: Respiration, cardiac, and digestive-related motion pose challenges to MR thermometry of the chest wall and bladder wall. The leg muscles had satisfactory temperature accuracy and precision per the chosen criteria. These results indicate that extremity locations may be preferable targets for MR-guided MHT using the existing MR thermometry technique. PMID: 29301453 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
