Magnetic resonance acoustic radiation force imaging (MR-ARFI) is an exceptionally promising technique to non-invasively confirm targeting accuracy and estimate exposure of low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation. MR-ARFI uses magnetic field motion encoding gradients to visualize the MR phase changes generated by microscopic displacements at the ultrasound focus. Implementing MR-ARFI in the human central nervous system has been hindered by 1) phase distortion caused by subject motion, and 2) insufficient signal-to-noise ratio at low (<1.
