✦ Synopsis

A three-dimensional sodium imaging technique with a minimum echo time of 0.9 ms is described in a 2.0 Tesla whole-body system. The relaxation behaviour in vivo of sodium was analysed: a fast T 2 * relaxation component between 1.2 and 1.6 ms and a slow T 2 * relaxation component between 7.1 ms and 8.4 ms were quantified in brain tissue of three volunteers. Three-dimensional sodium images of the human brain were acquired in 8.5 min with a resolution of 4.7 × 4.7× 10 mm (0.2 cc voxel size) and a signal-to-noise ratio of 20 in brain tissue and 30 in cerebrospinal fluid.

## Abstract An efficient scheme for fast three dimensional acquisition of sodium MR images is described. This scheme relies on the use of three dimensional __k__‐space trajectories with constant sample density to achieve significant (60–70%) reductions in total data acquisition time over convention

The RARE method is based on the principle of echo imaging to generate images with high T2 contrast. Since RARE is a fast imaging method, it can be used to acquire a highresolution three-dimensional data set in less than 15 min. Thin slices from such a threedimensional data set provide detailed infor

## Abstract A scheme for the reduction of __T__~2~ signal attenuation effects in three‐dimensional twisted projection imaging is presented. By purposely reducing the sample density at the high spatial frequencies, a considerable reduction in readout time is achieved. The reduction in readout time l
