Proton resonance frequency shift (PRF) is widely used for MR temperature mapping, but is not applicable in adipose tissues. T1 measurement is an alternative MR temperature mapping method that can be applied in adipose tissues. Combined PRF-T1 mapping has been evaluated for Cartesian MRI, but there is a lack of research for non-Cartesian techniques. In this work, we propose a new multi-echo 3D stack-of-radial technique that combines PRF and variable-flip-angle T1 measurement for MR temperature mapping. Preliminary results from laser ablation in phantoms demonstrate good agreement between temperature derived from both PRF and T1 compared to readings of temperature probes.
