Abstract
A magnetic resonance scanner () is configured for thermographic imaging. One or more processors () receive () thermal image data from the magnetic resonance scanner and reconstruct at least one thermal image in which each voxel includes a measure of temperature change. The one or more processors identify () thermally abnormal voxels. A display () displays at least one reconstructed image with the identified abnormal thermal locations.
