The first in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) images of tissue sodium in the intact
animal are presented. The distribution of sodium in the normal cat's head is described. An …

Surgicale report the first clinical nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) images of cerebral
sodium distribution in normal volunteers and in patients with a variety of pathological …

Elevations of intracellular sodium concentration have been observed in rapidly proliferating
cells and malignant neoplasms. Sodium magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (with repetition …

Many exciting new variations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been tested in
magnetic resonance research, but only a few have found their way to clinical use. Sodium …

Sodium magnetic resonance imaging of the human body in vivo has been tried and its
clinical application is considered. A short T2 imaging algorithm with total volume excitation …

In vivo sodium magnetic resonance (MR) images of various structures--such as the heart,
chest wall, kidneys, spine, liver, gallbladder, breasts, knees, hands, and feet--were obtained …

Sodium is the second most abundant NMR-observable nucleus in living tissue, following
protons. It is present in the extracellular space at a concentration of 160mM and is excluded …

Sodium (23 Na) imaging has a place somewhere between 1 H-MRI and MR spectroscopy
(MRS). Like MRS it potentially provides information on metabolic processes, but only one …

The methodology of sodium-23 (Na-23) imaging is reported in relationship to the
physiological factors that determine the chemical environment of the Na-23 nucleus …

A quantitative in vivo method for obtaining maps of tissue sodium concentration (TSC) by
MRI is compared to the invasive, global 22Na radionuclide dilutional technique in the …
