Abstract

In a magnetic resonance method and apparatus to determine an examination image data set describing the temperature distribution within an examination subject (in particular a patient) using magnetic resonance an absolute temperature image data set of an examination region of the subject is acquired by magnetic resonance temperature imaging, a normal temperature data set of the examination region is determined, and the examination image data set is determined in a computerized processor by a comparison of the absolute temperature image data set with the normal temperature data set.
