It is a long standing pursuit in sodium (23Na) MRI to separate\u0000signals between mono and bi exponential T2 decays in the human brain, due to\u0000lack of clinically translational solutions under the restriction of\u0000intrinsically low signal to noise ratio (SNR). Here we propose a new technique\u0000called multi TE single quantum (MSQ) sodium MRI to address the challenge.\u0000Methods. We exploit an intrinsic difference in T2 decay between mono and bi\u0000exponential sodium signals by acquiring SQ images at multiple TEs and\u0000performing voxel based matrix inversions on these SQ images. The MSQ method was\u0000then investigated on numerical models, agar phantoms, and human brains for the\u0000feasibility on clinical scanners at 3T. Results. The whole brain T2* spectrum\u0000of FID signals from the study subjects showed sparse peaks (2 to 4 peaks),\u0000suggesting a global set of T2* values (T2*fr, T2*bs, T2*bl) applicable to the\u0000separation. The simulations indicated a small impact (3.9 to 5.6 percent) of\u0000T2* variation on accuracy of the separation, and the phantom experiments showed\u0000a high accuracy of the separation, 95.8 percent for mono T2 sodium and 72.5 to\u000080.4 percent for biT2 sodium. The human studies demonstrated feasibility of the\u0000separation and potentials of highlighting abnormal brain regions in the biT2\u0000sodium images. Conclusion. The MSQ technique has been shown, via the numerical\u0000simulations, phantom experiments, and human brain studies, to be able to\u0000separate mono and bi T2 sodium signals using a two TE sampling scheme and a\u0000global set of T2* values.

Recent models describe how\u0000mesoscopic Larmor frequency shifts depend on induced magnetic fields by axons,\u0000described by an orientation distribution function. Using Monte-Carlo\u0000simulations of MRI signals in mesoscopic white matter axon substrates, we show\u0000MRI can estimate this mesoscopic frequency shift and dMRI can estimate its\u0000orientation dependence.","PeriodicalId":501378,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Medical Physics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141575155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
