Control of temperature variation is of primordial importance in particular areas of biomedicine. In this context, medical treatments such as hyperthermia and cryotherapy, and also the development and use of hydrogel-based biomaterials, are of particular concern. To enable accurate temperature measurement without perturbing or even destroying the biological tissue or material to be monitored, contactless thermometry methods are preferred. Among these, the most suitable are based on magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI, MRS). Here, we address the latest developments in this field as well as their current and anticipated practical applications. We highlight recent progress aimed at rendering MR thermometry faster and more reproducible, versatile, and sophisticated and provide our perspective on how these new techniques broaden the range of applications in medical treatments and biomaterial development by enabling insight into finer details of thermal behavior. Thus, these methods facilitate optimization of clinical and industrial heating and cooling protocols.

在生物医学的特定领域中，温度变化的控制至关重要。在这种情况下，特别关注诸如高温和冷冻疗法的医学治疗以及基于水凝胶的生物材料的开发和使用。为了能够进行精确的温度测量而不会干扰甚至破坏要监测的生物组织或材料，优选非接触式测温法。其中，最合适的是基于磁共振成像和光谱法（MRI，MRS）的。在这里，我们将介绍该领域的最新发展以及它们当前和预期的实际应用。我们重点介绍了最近的进展，旨在使MR测温更快，更可重复，通用，精巧，并通过深入了解热行为的更详细信息，提供我们对这些新技术如何扩展医疗和生物材料开发应用范围的看法。因此，这些方法有助于优化临床和工业加热和冷却方案。
