Evaluation of the effect of B0 and B1 correction on region-of-interest (ROI) analysis in forty-one 3T brain 23Na-MRI scans shows average change from B0, B1 and B0B1 correction of 1.0% (p=0.05), -3.7% (p<0.001) and -4.7% (p<0.001) respectively. Effect is more for B1 than B0 correction, and depending on the anticipated effect size of the neurologic disease of interest, B0 +/- B1 correction may not be required, potentially reducing scan time by 66% and thus encourage quantitative 23Na-MRI research in a clinical environment.
