The Pyrexar BSD2000-3D MR-compatible applicator provides robust and reproducible heating. The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval of the spatial steering accuracy is 0.9 cm, i.e. sufficient to fulfil the criterion of ≤0.2 °C temperature variation due to positioning errors as defined by Canters et al.
