Model predictive control for MR-HIFU-mediated, uniform hyperthermia.

Conclusion: Using thermal models deduced from low-powered test sonications, the proposed MPC algorithm provides good performance in phantoms. In direct comparison to the current state-of-the-art hyperthermia controller, MPC performs better due to the more finely tuned heating patterns and therefore constitutes an important step toward stable, uniform hyperthermia.
