T2-based Temperature Monitoring in Abdominal Fat during Fibroid Treatments

• The goal of this study was to investigate near-field heating in patients treated with the InSightec fibroid system.
• Accurate measurement of near-field heating in adipose tissue: shorter treatments and preventing injury in healthy tissues

Temperature change from the baseline in the same patient. Intersections of the beam axes and the slice are shown as circles, location of the measurement as “cross”
