Most parameters that influence the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal experience a
temperature dependence. The fact that MRI can be used for non-invasive measurements of …

In the Kalman filter (KF), the estimated state is a linear combination of the one-step
prediction and measurement. The two combination weights depend on the prediction mean …

Laser-induced thermal therapy (LITT) is an emerging minimally invasive treatment technique
for tumors. Non-destructive acquisition of the transient temperature field in the target tissue is …
