MRI offers the unique ability of measuring the temperature inside of the patient during minimally invasive tumor ablation. In this proof-of-concept approach MR Fingerprinting was used in order to get an accurate thermometry with potential for real-time application. The method was validated by performing a microwave ablation in a bioprotein phantom. The temperature accuracy was 1.54 °C ± 0.85 °C and the dice score between the calculated and the ground truth denaturation zone was 90.02 %. The mean standard deviation of the non-heated area was 0.19 °C.
