Systems and methods for thermal management of a patient in an MRI environment are disclosed. The systems include a non-magnetic pump that provides fluid through fluid flow channels to a patient in the MM environment. In one embodiment, a control system adjusts the temperature or rate of flow of fluid provided to the patient in order to maintain or adjust the patients temperature. In one embodiment, a display unit provides information on the temperature of the patient or the fluid and enables a user to adjust parameters of operation.
