摘要:
In one aspect, in accordance with one embodiment, a method includes acquiring magnetic resonance (MR) data corresponding to bone tissue in an area of interest of a subject that is heated from the application of localized energy. The acquiring includes applying a three-dimensional (3D) ultra-short echo time (UTE) spiral acquisition sequence. The method also includes detecting, from the acquired magnetic resonance data, a change in MR response signal due to a change in at least one of relaxation rate and magnetization density caused by heating of the bone tissue and determining, based at least in part on the change in the MR response signal, that the temperature of the bone tissue has changed.
