Noninvasive and accurate: Absolute temperature mapping for biomedical applications

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers in Germany and the US have developed a new approach to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thermometry using encaged hyperpolarized xenon as a temperature sensor. The method allows absolute temperature mapping with an unprecedented accuracy of 0.1 C at low and ultralow sensor concentrations. The new technique, which has the potential to become a helpful tool in clinical diagnostics and therapy monitoring, is presented online in ChemPhysChem.
