1. A magnetic resonance imaging system (1) comprising a data acquisition system with a a main magnet for generating a magnetic field in an imaging volume, a gradient system for generating a gradient in said magnetic field;

  • an RFE excitation system arranged for generating a radio-frequency wave in the imaging volume, said radio-frequency wave being conceived to interact with a matter to be positioned in the imaging volume;

    an acquisition means arranged to detect a signal representative of a response of the matter to said radio-frequency wave, said magnetic resonance imaging system further comprising a control system 94+arranged to operate the data acquisition system for generating a dataset comprising a plurality of signals, a reconstructor operable to reconstruct an image based on said dataset, and said control system being further arranged to form said dataset to comprise a signal phase data and a signal magnitude data, said reconstruction means being arranged to reconstruct an image representative of a local thermometry data and a local longitudinal relaxation data using said phase data and said magnitude data.
