From: 306 Cardiac sodium imaging with phased arrays at 3 Tesla using a 3D Ultra-short TE (UTE) approach
Proton image True-FISP 8 sec (left) and sodium image 8 min 2D-UTE. Sodium imaging is presented using a 3 T MRI system, an 8 channel RF array, and 3D imaging methods. The acquisition incorporates a ultra-short TE (UTE) and benefits from non-isotropic resolution. Considerable improvement is found over previous 1.5 T single channel methods.
