Respiration induced resonance offsets cause artifacts when imaging the breast. These artifacts lead to erroneous PRF temperature measurements. A phase correction method is applied to k-Space data to correct the respiration induced artifacts and improves accuracy of PRF temperature measurements while allowing free breathing of the patient, and without the need to have a multibaseline library. Two FID within-sequence phase correction navigators are collected and used to estimate the slope of the phase offset (radians/ms) during each TR. The phase of the k-Space lines acquired each TR is adjusted by the slope during that TR times TE.
