Background, Motivation and Objective We have previously shown that dual-mode ultrasound arrays (DMUAs) are capable of delivering therapeutic and sub therapeutic (subThx) HIFU transcranially in a rat model in vivo. We have also shown that echo data from DMUA imaging allowed for monitoring temperature changes due to the transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) beams. In this study, we investigate the spatial accuracy of the transcranial DMUA-based temperature imaging.
