A comparison of the TQ MR signals without filtration from three in vivo ions was performed in a rat head at 21.1 T using a time proportional phase increment. A strong and competitive binding of potassium relative to sodium was demonstrated and confirmed using agarose samples. The TQ signal from in vivo chloride was the lowest. Our results support a model that normal cells have similar ion binding in intracellular and extracellular spaces. Visualization of TQ magnetization was demonstrated using matching angular dependence of spherical harmonics and corresponding irreducible tensors.
