This work provides encouragement for further explorations into densely packed multichannel transceiver arrays tailored for 23 Na MRI of the heart and kidney. Equipped with this technology, the ability to probe sodium concentration in the heart and kidney in vivo using 23 Na MRI stands to make a critical contribution to deciphering the complex interactions between both organs.
