PURPOSE: To extend the previously developed temporally constrained reconstruction (TCR) algorithm to allow for real-time availability of three-dimensional (3D) temperature maps capable of monitoring MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound applications. METHODS: A real-time TCR (RT-TCR) algorithm is developed that only uses current and previously acquired undersampled k-space data from a 3D segmented EPI pulse sequence, with the image reconstruction done in a graphics processing unit implementation to overcome computation burden. Simulated and experimental data sets of HIFU heating are used to evaluate the performance of the RT-TCR algorithm. RESULTS: The simulation studies demonstrate that the RT-TCR algorithm has subsecond reconstruction time and can accurately measure HIFU-induced temperature rises of 20°C in 15 s for 3D volumes of 16 slices (RMSE = 0.1°C), 24 slices (RMSE = 0.2°C), and 32 slices (RMSE = 0.3°C). Experimental results in ex vivo porcine muscle demonstrate that the RT-TCR approach can reconstruct temperature maps with 192 × 162 × 66 mm 3D volume coverage, 1.5 × 1.5 × 3.0 mm resolution, and 1.2-s scan time with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. CONCLUSION: The RT-TCR algorithm offers an approach to obtaining large coverage 3D temperature maps in real-time for monitoring MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound treatments.
