Anatomical Phase Extraction (APE) Method: A Novel Method to Correct Detrimental Effects of Tissue-Inhomogeneity in Referenceless MR Thermometry—Preliminary Ex Vivo Investigation

Figure 7

The representative temperature map of APE experiments 1 to 4 and the difference map acquired from temperature map difference of experiment 1-experiment 2, experiment 2-experiment 3, experiment 3-experiment 4, and experiment 1-experiment 4. It is obvious that these temperature maps demonstrate considerable similarity, and the noises in their different maps are negligible.
