## Abstract Cryosurgery has been shown to be an effective therapy for prostate cancer. Temperature monitoring throughout the cryosurgical iceball could dramatically improve efficacy, since end temperatures of at least β40Β°C are required. The results of this study indicate that MR thermometry based

## Abstract A quantitative __in vivo__ method for obtaining maps of tissue sodium concentration (TSC) by MRI is compared to the invasive, global ^22^Na radionuclide dilutional technique in the normal rat brain. The MR method uses a threeβdimensional projectional acquisition scheme to minimize signa
## Abstract The biexponential relaxation behavior of the sodium nucleus affects the accuracy of quantitative measurement of __in vivo__ tissue sodium concentration (TSC). Theoretical analysis and __in vivo__ experimental results are used to demonstrate the extent of the large bias in the measured T
