Abstract
A temperature measurement probe () for use in a magnetic resonance environment, includes an elongated substrate (), at least one highly resistive, electrically conductive traces (') one printed at least one thermistor () disposed on the substrate and electrically connected with the trace. The thermistor is configured to be placed in thermal communication with a patient in the magnetic resonance environment. In some embodiments, the printed trace may be carbon-based, silicone based, or may be a doped semiconductor material.
