Abstract

The invention relates to an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) temperature measurement magnetic field phase drift compensation method. According to the method, temperature information of a temperature measuring object itself is independent from external interference factors, and external information in a compensation process and external information in a temperature measurement process can keep constant, and therefore, the effectiveness of error compensation can be ensured. In an error compensation calculation process, sampling time is fixed, a large quantity of original MR data are reconstructed; the influence of magnetic field drift on the phase information of a constant temperature object in a certain time period is calculated; average phase offset under constant temperature can be obtained, so that the average phase offset can be subtracted from each phase change quantity in an object temperature measurement magnetic field drift phase compensation process; and the accuracy of phase compensation quantity is verified by using independent data. The invention provides an effective compensation method for errors caused by magnetic field drift, and the accuracy of MRI measurement can be improved.
