title: Feasibility assessment of CT-based thermometry for temperature monitoring during thermal procedure: Influence of ROI size and scan setting on metrological properties.
abstract: Computed tomography (CT) thermometry belongs to the wide class of non-invasive temperature monitoring techniques, which includes ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance thermometry. Non-invasive techniques are particularly attractive to be used in hyperthermal procedures for their ability to produce a three-dimensional temperature map and because they overcome the risks related to the insertion of sensing elements.
