The sodium ion is involved in a vast number of functions at the cellular level. Changes in sodium intracellular concentration or volume fraction indicate disorders that alter cell function/integrity or that are responsible for metabolic changes. Inversion-recovery and triple quantum filtration (TQF) methods have been previously proposed to discriminate intra- and extracellular Na+ signals. Here, we proposed a 23 Na MRS protocol to characterize skeletal muscle tissues in reasonable acquisition times and evaluated the sensitivity of different parameters (FID signal, TQF signal, TQF/FID ratio, T1 value, short T2* fraction) to differentiate various intracellular volume fractions conditions.
