Referenceless thermometry has been proposed to address the accuracy problem caused by motion artifact and magnetic field drifting. The prerequisite 2D phase unwrapping precedure is computationally inefficient. We proposed a new method based on phase differentiation estimation to avoid phase unwrapping. Phantom and ex-vivo studies show that the proposed method is less sensitive to polynomial order, more computationally efficient, and its accuracy is comparable to the standard referenceless method.
