Magnetic susceptibility effects on the accuracy of MR temperature monitoring by the proton resonance frequency method

To evaluate the error of MR temperature assessment based on the temperature‐dependent Larmor frequency shift of water protons, which can result from susceptibility effects caused by the radiofrequency (RF) applicator.
