a-d An abbreviated view of the steps performed to validate the system in temperature-sensitive color phantoms. The treatment area results after a single laser fiber was placed at four planned positions (white ellipses) sequentially to generate a composite ablation zone (black) to cover the tumor (green contour). e Temperature-sensitive color phantom sliced to match the location and orientation of the MRI scan plane.
