In this article we present an up‐to‐date overview of the potential biomedical applications of
sodium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo. Sodium MRI is a subject of increasing …

Sodium NMR spectroscopy and MRI have become popular in recent years through the
increased availability of high-field MRI scanners, advanced scanner hardware and improved …

New composite pulses are derived and presented in a simple form where the overall flip
angle remains a variable. Thus, composite pulses of overall flip angle 45°, 90°, 135°, 180° …

In this article, both sodium magnetic resonance (MR) and T1ρ relaxation mapping aimed at
measuring molecular changes in cartilage for the diagnostic imaging of osteoarthritis are …

Preliminary results from in vivo sodium MRI of human patellar articular cartilage are
presented. Sodium images generated of an in vitro bovine patella clearly distinguish the …

In ordered systems, where the molecular motion is anisotropic, quadrupolar and dipolar
interactions are not averaged to zero. In such cases, double quantum (DQ) coherences can …

This chapter demonstrates the use of sodium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a
noninvasive, in vivo means to assess metabolic changes that ensue from loss of cell ion …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of non‐traumatic disability in young
adults. The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration and disease progression are poorly …

Skeletal muscle is a biological structure with a high degree of organization at different
spatial levels. This order influences magnetic resonance (MR) in vivo—in particular 1H …

The effect of proton exchange on the measurement of1H–1H, 1H–2H, and2H–2H residual
dipolar interactions in water molecules in bovine Achilles tendons was investigated using …
