Multi-quantum sodium imaging offers additional insights compared to standard single-quantum (SQ) images with information beyond tissue sodium concentration (TSC). Simulation including B0 inhomogeneity and stimulated echo signals of multi-quantum signals and spectra of phase cycle choices facilitated robust sequence development. The characteristic temporal evolution of the SQ and triple quantum (TQ) sodium is of interest and a multi echo sequence for SQ and TQ signal acquisition was developed, which was evaluated in phantom and 5 healthy volunteers in the brain.
