Thermal Mapping using MRI is a non-invasive method for probing the body and has both diagnostic and interventional applications. If conducted on more accessible low field strength systems, these can improve the accessibility of the method for wider use. In order to validate and compare thermal mapping, a temperature control phantom was developed with tools for heating the phantom and externally tracking the temperature of the phantom. A heating study was performed with the phantom at two temperatures, and the thermometry methods showed good connection to the change in temperature in the phantom.
