ABSTRACT:
Temperature in frozen tissue can be measured from magnetic resonance signals from the frozen tissue based on spin-spin relaxation time (T2) or based on relative intensity of the magnetic resonance signals. Short echo times are required, and use of tailored RF pulses, non-Cartesian readouts, and multi-slice and 3D k-space acquisitions are preferably employed.
