Table 1 Summary of the regulation performance for in vitro and in vivo experiments. The mean differences between target and experimental temperature, together with RMSE at the control voxel are reported for each plateau of temperature increase and the total heating duration. The standard deviation of temperature (STD) in a non-heated voxel is also indicated to illustrate the stability of the thermometry method.
