Images of the Sun at millimeter wavelengths obtained by ALMA show a significant correspondence with the magnetograms. In this paper, we investigate this correspondence by comparing ALMA full-disk solar image taken at 1.2 mm with a SDO/HMI magnetogram and analyze their correlation. It is found that chromospheric network and active regions show a positive correlation where brightness temperature is increasing with the line-of-sight magnetic field strength, while sunspots have a negative correlation. Quiet Sun regions do not show any dependence of the brightness temperature with the magnetic field. Thermal bremsstrahlung is given as the best explanation for the observed correlations.
