Sodium quantification in skeletal muscle: comparison between Cartesian gradient-echo and radial ultra-short echo time 23Na MRI techniques

Abstract Background Clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies often use Cartesian gradient-echo (GRE) sequences with ~2-ms echo times (TEs) to monitor apparent total sodium concentration (aTSC). We compared Cartesian GRE and ultra-short echo time three-dimensional (3D) radial-readout sequenc...
