Keywords: Thermometry, ThermometryProton resonance frequency thermometry estimates temperature change by detecting the frequency change which is proportional to that of the temperature. In this study, we propose a dual- flip angle bSSFP thermometry method that generates a high intensity signal and linear phase to the frequency shift. Two steady states of the proposed method have phase dependency on the off-resonance frequency and the phase difference between the steady states has a linear relation with the off-resonance frequency. The linear phase relation makes it possible to measure temperature change. And the acquired high intensity signal benefits temperature monitoring and guidance for thermal therapy.
