A computing device includes a thermal map generator () that generates a thermal map for image data voxels or pixels representing a volume or region of interest of a subject based on thermometry image data, which includes voxels or pixels indicating a change in a temperature in the volume or region of interest, and a predetermined change in value to temperature lookup table () and a display () that visually presents the thermal map in connection with image data of the volume of interest. A method includes generating a thermal map for image data voxels or pixels representing a volume or region of interest of a subject based on thermometry image data, which includes voxels or pixels indicating a change in a temperature in the volume or region of interest, and a predetermined change in voxel or pixel value to temperature lookup table.

Imaging thermometry

A system and method for image registration includes tracking () a scanner probe in a position along a skin surface of a patient. Image planes corresponding to the position are acquired (). A three-dimensional volume of a region of interest is reconstructed () from the image planes. A search of an image volume is initialized () to determine candidate images to register the image volume with the three-dimensional volume by employing pose information of the scanner probe during image plane acquisition, and physical constraints of a pose of the scanner probe. The image volume is registered () with the three-dimensional volume.
