## Abstract Sodium imaging with soft inversion recovery fluid attenuation, which may be advantageous for intracellular weighting, was demonstrated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suppression in five healthy volunteers at 4.7 T. Long rectangular inversion pulses reduce the average power deposition in

β¦ Synopsis
Sodium magnetic resonance imaging of the human body in vivo has been tried and its clinical application is considered. A short T2 imaging algorithm with total volume excitation and a specialized RF coil focused to the region of interest have been adopted to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Using a 1.5-T human body imaging system, several important organs including heart, liver, gallbladder, kidney, and spine have been examined to demonstrate their sodium concentration in vivo.

Magnetic resonance imaging techniques have previously been applied to 'H, 23Na, "P, and I9F nuclei. This is the first report of application of these techniques to 'Li. Lithium images of both aqueous phantoms and a rat abdomen are presented. Applications of this technique to humans are discussed. 0 1
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the performance of highβresolution T1βweighted (T1w) turbo field echo (TFE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the identification of the highβrisk component intraplaque hemorrhage, which is described in the literature as a troublesome component to detect. #
## Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining high-quality magnetic resonance (mr) images of the human cervical spinal cord in vivo at a magnetic field strength of 3 t and to optimize the signal contrast between gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) on 2d gradient recal
