A coronal image of a 3D 23Na image of the human abdomen acquired at 3T at 25 min (A) and 12 min (B) scanning times. Both images demonstrate the distribution of the sodium signal in the kidney and in the surrounding environment. A comparison between a scheme of the human kidney (C) and a surface function of the signal intensity in A (D) revealed an increase in sodium concentration along the corticomedullary axes in accordance with the multi-papilla structure of the human kidney. The images were acquired by a 3D gradient echo sequence tailored for sodium imaging, using a home-built quadrature surface coil with TR/TE of 30/1.8 ms, field of view of 38 x 38 x 24 cm and matrix of 128 x 128 x 16.
