30 years of sodium/X-nuclei magnetic resonance imaging

In principle, all nuclei with nonzero spin can be employed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Special scanner hardware and MR sequences are required to select the nucleus-specific frequency and to enable imaging with “sufficient” signal-to-noise ratio. This Special Issue starts with an overview o...

Zusammenfassung:	In principle, all nuclei with nonzero spin can be employed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Special scanner hardware and MR sequences are required to select the nucleus-specific frequency and to enable imaging with “sufficient” signal-to-noise ratio. This Special Issue starts with an overview of different nuclei that can be used for MRI today, followed by a review article about techniques required for imaging of quadrupolar nuclei with short relaxation times. Sequence developments to improve image quality and applications on different organs and diseases are presented for different nuclei ( 23 Na, 35 Cl, 17 O, and 19 F), with a focus on imaging at natural abundance.
