Simultaneous multi-parametric mapping of total sodium concentration, T1, T2 and ADC at 7 T using a multi-contrast unbalanced SSFP

The results illustrate the ability to retrieve sodium NMR properties maps, which is a first step toward the estimation of FA, T1, T2, concentration and ADC of 23Na for clinical research. With further optimization of the acquired QuICS contrasts, scan time could be reduced to be suitable with in vivo applications.
