description Thermal therapy is a commonly used local treatment technique in clinical practice. Monitoring the treatment process is essential for ensuring its success. In this review, we analyze recent image-based methods for thermal therapy monitoring, focusing particularly on their feasibility for synchronous or immediate postoperative monitoring. This includes thermography and other techniques that track the physical changes in tissue during thermal ablation. Potential directions and challenges for further clinical applications are also summarized.
