Evaluation of Sodium Relaxation Times and Concentrations in the Achilles Tendon Using MRI

Evaluation of Sodium Relaxation Times and Concentrations in the Achilles Tendon Using MRI

Sodium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate the change in the proteoglycan content in Achilles tendons (ATs) of patients with different AT pathologies by measuring the <sup>23</sup>Na signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). As <sup>23</sup>Na SNR alone is difficult t...
