Ultrasound hyperthermia is one of the most important methods in tumor treatment and characterized
by non-invasiveness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based temperature mapping techniques are safe compared
with invasive methods and have been applied to detect temperature changes for a variety of applications. Among
these techniques, the proton resonance frequency (PRF) method is relatively advanced. With a temperature
measuring experiment, the effectiveness of PRF method has been proved, because the outcome temperature curve
and the real temperature curve fit well. After that, an experiment has been conducted on tumors inside rabbit legs
and the result indicates that this system is able to performance hyperthermia at targets based on PRF method
in temperature mapping.
