Tissue sodium concentration and sodium T 1 mapping of the human brain at 3 T using a Variable Flip Angle method

The state-of-the-art method to quantify sodium concentrations in vivo consists in a fully relaxed 3D spin-density (SD) weighted acquisition. Nevertheless, most sodium MRI clinical studies use short-TR SD acquisitions to reduce acquisition durations. We present a clinically viable implementation of t...
