Measurement of changes in tissue temperature using MR imaging.

R J Dickinson, A S Hall, A J Hind

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography

    Summary

    Researchers measured tissue spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) using MRI. T1 showed a linear temperature dependence, enabling precise, noninvasive temperature mapping for clinical hyperthermia applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Imaging Physics

    Background:

    • Accurate temperature monitoring is crucial for effective hyperthermia treatment.
    • Current methods for temperature measurement in hyperthermia can be invasive or lack precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between tissue spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) and temperature.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of using MRI-based T1 measurements for noninvasive temperature mapping during hyperthermia.

    Main Methods:

    • Tissue samples (in vitro) and in vivo tissues were heated using radiofrequency power.
    • Temperature was controlled and monitored using implanted thermocouples.
    • Spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) was measured as a function of temperature using a magnetic resonance imager.

    Main Results:

    • A linear dependence of T1 on temperature was observed, with a slope of 5-10 ms/°C.
    • The method achieved a temperature resolution of 1-2 °C.
    • Spatial resolution was 4-5 mm with a scan time of 1 minute.

    Conclusions:

    • MRI-based T1 measurements provide a reliable method for temperature determination.
    • The technique offers sufficient resolution and speed for noninvasive temperature mapping in clinical hyperthermia.
    • This approach holds significant potential for optimizing hyperthermia treatment efficacy and safety.
