Abstract
Our purpose in this work was to assess the reliability of the calibration coefficient for magnetic resonance water proton chemical shift temperature mapping. Over a six month period, the calibration coefficient was measured 15 times in several different phantoms. A highly linear relationship between water proton chemical shift and temperature change was found. The average temperature calibration coefficient determined from all studies was 0.009±0.001 ppm/°C. Four of the 15 studies were conducted on the same day using the same phantom. The average temperature calibration coefficient of these four studies was 0.0096±0.0001 ppm/°C.
