Abstract
A medical apparatus () includes a magnetic resonance imaging system (). The medical apparatus further includes a memory () containing instructions () for execution by a processor (). Execution of the instructions causes the processor to acquire () baseline magnetic resonance data () and reconstruct () a first image () using the baseline magnetic resonance data. Execution of the instructions further causes the processor acquire () undersampled magnetic resonance data (), which is undersampled in k- space in comparison to the baseline magnetic resonance data. Execution of the instructions further causes the processor reconstruct () a second image () using the undersampled magnetic resonance data and the first image. The second image is reconstructed using an image ratio constrained reconstruction algorithm (). A temperature map () is calculated () using the second image.
