wireless communications have long since been utilized to connect a multitude of devices quickly and easily to a common network. however, such methods have not yet been implemented inside a magnetic resonance imaging (mri) environment, leading to a difficulty of implementing simple devices easily and quickly inside the environment, especially in significant numbers. the feasibility of having a network of mri-compatible sensors is of great interest for image-guided interventions such as mri-guided focused ultrasound surgery (mrgfus). mrgfus will benefit from the collection of multiple data such as temperature, backscattered acoustic waves, among others, for the monitoring of the procedure.
