Tissue sodium concentration (TSC), as determined by in vivo 23Na magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the ex vivo classical 22Na radionuclide dilution assay (RDA), has been compared in a rat model of a focal glioma. The 23Na MRI method used a three-dimensional, twisted projection acquisition scheme at short echo time to minimize signal losses from relaxation of transverse magnetization. Calibration standards within the field of view allowed quantification of the sodium signal in terms of a TSC after correction for B1 nonuniformity and tissue water concentration. The 23Na MRI method measured focally increased TSC values in tumors that were equivalent statistically to the destructive 22Na RDA method. The noninvasive 23Na MRI method provided a quantitative means with which to monitor focal brain tumor growth.
