The proposed method offers an efficient 23 Na-imaging scheme that extends existing 23 Na-MRI sequences by acquiring signal decay information with no increase in time or specific absorption rate. The resultant SNR-enhanced 23 Na-images and estimated T2* signal decay characteristics offer great potential for detailed investigation of tissue compartment characterization and clinical application.
