Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
In this paper, the temperature distribution in human leg is obtained using MRI by measuring the phase of longitudinal relaxation time of proton.  Furthermore, carbonized moxa-needle treatment which is one of the techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy was selected to heat the target.  The result of noninvasively measured temperature distribution agrees well to that obtained by the simulation.
