A temperature reconstruction algorithm that compensates for chemical-shift distortions that result from heating is presented for proton resonance frequency-shift thermometry. A hybrid multibaseline and referenceless temperature change model is fit directly to k-space data and iteratively updated to determine the heating-induced phase shift at the echo time while compensating for off-resonance phase accrual throughout the readout. The method is evaluated in simulation and phantom experiments. It is able to correctly reconstruct the simulated temperature and has a large impact on thermal dose measurements.
