Description
Summary:ability to perform temperature measurements without direct
coagulation in tissues or microwave heating. A phase
contact between the probe and the sample is highly desirable
difference algorithm is also introduced as a tool to
eliminate errors caused by phase wrapping. In addition, a
for numerous medical operations, as well as various other
magnetic resonance (NMR) thermometry has emerged as a notable
method for non-invasive temperature measurement. The PRF
method has been investigated by a number of researchers. The
method. The results show that temperature measurements using
NMR thermometry. Experiments demonstrated accurate
nometry as a new direction of research for the Magnetic
non-medical applications. This research introduced NMR then-
principles of the PRF method are thoroughly investigated.
Resonance Systems Laboratory (MRSL). The theory and

stability and is determined whether it is capable of accurate
temperature measurements such as monitoring of laser
