الوصف: Purpose: Test objects for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) are required for the standardization and definition of treatment, Quality Assurance (QA), comparison of results between centers and calibration of devices. This study describes a HIFU test object which provides temperature measurement as a function of time, in a reference material compatible with Magnetic Resonance (MR) and ultrasound. Materials and methods: T-Type fine wire thermocouples were used as sensors and 5 correction methods for viscous heating artifacts were assessed. The phantom was tested in a MR-HIFU Philips Sonalleve device over a period of 12months, demonstrating stability and validity to evaluate the performance of the device. Results: The study furnished useful information regarding the MR-HIFU sessions and highlighted potential limitations of the existing QA and monitoring methods. The importance of temperature monitoring along the whole acoustic path was demonstrated as MR Thermometry readings differed in the three MR plane views (coronal, sagittal, transverse), in particular when the focus was near a soft-tissue/ bone interface, where there can be an MR signal loss with significant temperature and thermal dose underestimation (138% variation between the three plane views). Conclusions: The test object was easy to use and has potential as a valid tool for training, QA, research and development for MR guided HIFU and potentially ultrasound guided devices.
