abstract = {Sodium (23Na) MRI proffers the possibility of novel
information for neurological research but also particular
challenges. Uncertainty can arise in in vivo 23Na estimates
from signal losses given the rapidity of T2* decay due to
biexponential relaxation with both short (T2*short) and long
(T2*long) components. We build on previous work by
characterising the decay curve directly via multi-echo
imaging at 7 T in 13 controls with the requisite number,
distribution and range to assess the distribution of both in
vivo T2*short and T2*long and in variation between grey and
white matter, and subregions. By modelling the relationship
between signal and reference concentration and applying it
to in vivo 23Na-MRI signal, 23Na concentrations and apparent
transverse relaxation times of different brain regions were
measured for the first time. Relaxation components and
concentrations differed substantially between regions of
differing tissue composition, suggesting sensitivity of
multi-echo 23Na-MRI toward features of tissue composition.
As such, these results raise the prospect of multi-echo
23Na-MRI as an adjunct source of information on biochemical
mechanisms in both physiological and pathophysiological
states.},
