In this work we propose a flexible and quantitative method for sodium (23Na) imaging to determine the total sodium concentration (TSC) and characterize the signal decay, which is related to bound and unbound 23Na. A (compressed sensing accelerated) 3D FID spectroscopic imaging sequence is used to maximize the ratio between sampling time and total acquisition time to optimize the SNR, obtain a high temporal resolution and acquire 23Na images in both a calibration phantom and in the knee of a healthy volunteer.
