Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a practical technique for non-invasive temperature measurement. Thermo-sensitive MRI contrast agents, which cause temperature-dependent changes in magnetic resonance parameters of water molecules (i.e., relaxation, signal intensity and chemical shift) have been widely applied to MRI thermometry. This paper gives an overview of the types, principle, research status and application prospects of thermo-sensitive MRI contrast agent.
