Figure 5
Examples of in vivo automatic temperature regulations during LITT. First column shows examples of automatic temperature regulations in a pig leg muscle, for 2 temperature–time profiles showing 3 successive plateaus (5 °C, 10 °C and 15 °C—300 s duration each) (a) and one unique plateau of 30 °C for 700 s (b). Target profile (orange), maximal (blue), and mean (green) temperature curves over the \({3\times3\times3}\) voxels ROI are displayed. The red curve shows temperature evolution in a non-heated single voxel. Image insets: temperature maps obtained in the middle of each temperature plateau (same color scale for each example). Graphs (c) and (d) in the second column show the difference between the experimental temperature and the target temperature, its mean, and its RMSE for example (a) and (b) respectively.
