Abstract:
1. A method to determine an examination image data set that describes a temperature distribution within a subject, comprising the steps of: operating a magnetic resonance data acquisition unit, in which a subject is located, to obtain an absolute temperature image data set, by magnetic resonance temperature imaging, of an examination region of the subject; generating a normal temperature data set of the examination region of the subject; in a computerized processor, comparing the absolute temperature image data set with said normal temperature data set to obtain an examination image data set; operating said magnetic resonance data acquisition unit to additionally acquire a subject image data set from the subject that shows physical characteristics of the subject; in said computerized processor, reconstructing an examination image from said examination image data set and reconstructing a subject image from said subject image data set; and from said computerized processor, causing simultaneous display, at a display screen, of said examination image and said subject image.
