A method and programmable computer system calculates and displays the regions where the temperature can be reliably measured in a thermal therapy procedure. The clinician or automated control system then can make an informed decision to treat these regions or plan a treatment to avoid them based on the sensitivity of surrounding structures to unintended heating.
