Coronal T2-FSE (left) and DCE T1-FSE (right) after FUS treatment. The T2-FSE image shows a positive contrast of the lesions. The DCE T1-FSE image shows the hyperenhancement of the border zone, but not the core of ablated lesion. The following energies were applied (from top to bottom): 650, 300, 500, and 800 J, and the arrows indicate ablated lesions. A positive relationship between energy and lesion size can be appreciated in both images
