Estimating the term…
A medical apparatus (300, 400, 500, 600) comprising a magnetic resonance imaging system (302). The medical apparatus further comprises a memory (332) storing machine readable instructions (352, 354, 356, 358, 470, 472, 474) for execution by a processor (326). Execution of the instructions causes the processor to acquire (100, 202) spectroscopic magnetic resonance data (334). Execution of the instructions further cause the processor to calculate (102, 204) a calibration thermal map (336) using the spectroscopic magnetic resonance data. Execution of the instructions further causes the processor to acquire (104, 206) baseline magnetic resonance thermometry data (338). Execution of the instructions further causes the processor to repeatedly acquire (106, 212) magnetic resonance thermometry data (340). Execution of the instructions further cause the processor to calculate (108, 214) a temperature map (351) using the magnetic resonance thermometry data, the calibration thermal map, and the baseline magnetic resonance thermometry data.
A medical apparatus comprising:
A method of operating a medical apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises a magnetic resonance imaging system for acquiring magnetic resonance data, wherein the method comprises the step of acquiring spectroscopic magnetic resonance data, wherein the method further comprises the step of calculating a calibration thermal map using the spectroscopic magnetic resonance data, wherein the method further comprises the step of acquiring baseline magnetic resonance thermometry data, and wherein the method further comprises repeatedly performing the steps of:
A computer program product comprising machine executable instructions for controlling a medical apparatus, wherein the medical apparatus comprises a magnetic resonance imaging system for acquiring magnetic resonance data, wherein the medical apparatus further comprises a processor for executing the instructions, wherein execution of the instructions cause the processor to acquire spectroscopic magnetic resonance data;
