Although temperature imaging in 7.0 T MRI has the advantage of increased SNR compared to lower field, it is more sensitive to susceptibility causing more artifacts. Since the 7.0 T MRI is also affected more by the electrical conductivity, temperature-dependency of the electrical conductivity is also affecting the resultant images. This work compares the temperature mapping methods for RF hyperthermia in 7.0 T and 3.0 T MRI and proposes the new temperature mapping method appropriate to 7.0 T MRI under the environment of changing conductivity.
