In Magnetic Resonance Acoustic Radiation Force Imaging (MR-ARFI), an MR imaging device (10) performs gradient echo imaging including successive MR dynamics with opposite encoding of displacement to generate MR-ARFI data of a subject comprising successive image frames with opposite displacement encoding. An ultrasound device (12) applies sonication to the subject during the gradient echo imaging. An electronic processor (22) performs MR-ARFI data processing applied to image elements at image frames of the MR-ARFI data. A displacement is computed (30) for the image element at the image frame as proportional to a phase difference between the image element in the image frame and the image element in a succeeding or preceding image frame with opposite displacement encoding. The computed displacement is corrected (32) for a temperature change between the image frame and the succeeding or preceding image frame. The temperature change is determined using the MR-ARFI data.
