Absolute Temperature Imaging using iMQCs
Abstract:

Intermolecular multiple quantum coherences (iMQCs) are a novel magnetic resonance method which evolve differently than conventional magnetization causing them to be insensitive to inhomogneities, and creating unique contrast. For example, iMQCs can be used to detect temperature on an absolute scale. This is important for hyperthermia which treats cancerous tumors through the use of selective heating. In order for hyperthermic treatments to develop as a mainstream treatment, accurate and non invasive methods of temperature measurement must be developed, and iMQCs have the potential to fill this need.
