SPIRAL MRI for in vivo lithium-7 imaging: a feasibility study in mice after oral lithium treatment
Abstract Lithium has been the frontline treatment for bipolar disorder for over 60 years. However, its mode of action and distribution in the brain is still incompletely understood. The primary isotope of lithium, lithium-7 (7Li), is a magnetic resonance (MR) active, spin-3/2 nucleus. However, its l...
