Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the multifunctional potential of magnetic-
plasmonic nanoparticles in the biomedical field. This comprehensive review aims to …

ABSTRACT Direct sodium MRI (23 Na-MRI) derives its signal from spin-manipulation of the
23 Na nucleus itself and not the more conventional and familiar 1 H-MRI. Although present …

Background Lower back pain affects 75%–85% of people at some point in their lives. The
detection of biochemical changes with sodium (23Na) MRI has potential to enable an earlier …

Background 7 T cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies may enable higher
precision in clinical metrics like cardiac function, ventricular mass, and more. Higher …

Sodium MRI can measure in vivo sodium concentrations in people with multiple sclerosis,
but the extent to which these alterations reflect metabolic dysfunction in the absence of …

Purpose To develop an improved post-processing pipeline for noise-robust accelerated
phase-cycled Cartesian Single (SQ) and Triple Quantum (TQ) sodium (23 Na) Magnetic …

Ionic imbalances and sodium channel dysfunction, well-known sequelae of traumatic brain
injury (TBI), promote functional impairment in affected subjects. Therefore, non-invasive …

Background Clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies often use Cartesian
gradient-echo (GRE) sequences with~ 2-ms echo times (TEs) to monitor apparent total …

Double-quantum filtered 23 Na NMR experiments with one or two “magic angle”(54.7°)
pulses in the filter step are widely used for selective observation of sodium ions that are …

The implementation of clinical 7T MRI presents both opportunities and challenges for
advanced medical imaging. This tutorial provides practical considerations and experiences …
