Magnetic field drift compromises proton resonance
frequency shift MR thermometry by adding a phase term
over time which is misinterpreted as temperature change.
For hyperthermia procedures, stable MR thermometry is
needed over 10 minutes or more. Here, a field probe was
used to independently measure field drift and compensate
temperature mapping. In the upper legs of a volunteer,
drift effects were reduced from 5.4C to within well
within 1C over a 16 minute scan with full gradient
system use. Results were comparable or better than
compensation using the phase evolution in a user defined
region of interest.
