AB  - SUMMARY: Interest in transcranial MR imaging–guided focused ultrasound procedures has recently grown. These incisionless procedures enable precise focal ablation of brain tissue using real-time monitoring by MR thermometry. This article will provide an updated review on clinically applicable technical underpinnings and considerations of proton resonance frequency MR thermometry, the most common clinically used MR thermometry sequence.CEM43cumulative equivalent minutes at 43°C2DFT2D Cartesian Fourier transformGREgradient recalled-echoHIFUhigh-intensity focused ultrasoundLIFUlow-intensity focused ultrasoundMRgFUSMR imaging–guided focused ultrasoundMRTMR thermometryNPVnonperfused volumePRFproton resonance frequency
