Accurate in-situ temperature assessment for live tissue is important to help in medical diagnosis, however current methods exhibit problems when attempting to measure absolute temperature. Here, the authors present a non-invasive multinuclear method which utilises the differences between the precession frequency of proton and sodium nuclei in order to accurately determine the temperature of a system.
