Fluid filling of the digestive tract for improved proton resonance frequency shift ‐based MR thermometry in the pancreas

ConclusionPreparation of the digestive tract near the pancreas by filling it with fluid improved MR thermometry precision and accuracy for all common respiratory motion‐compensated methods evaluated. These improvements are attributed to reducing field inhomogeneity in the pancreas.Level of Evidence: 2Technical Efficacy: Stage 1J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2017.
