In this article, an overview of the current developments and research applications for non-proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at ultrahigh magnetic fields (UHFs) is given. Due to technical and methodical advances, efficient MRI of physiologically relevant nuclei, such as Na, Cl, Cl, K, O, or P has become feasible and is of interest to obtain spatially and temporally resolved information that can be used for biomedical and diagnostic applications. Sodium (Na) MRI is the most widespread multinuclear imaging method with applications ranging over all regions of the human body. Na MRI yields the second largest in vivo NMR signal after the clinically used proton signal (H). However, other nuclei such as O and P (energy metabolism) or Cl and K (cell viability) are used in an increasing number of MRI studies at UHF. One major advancement has been the increased availability of whole-body MR scanners with UHFs (B0 ≥7T) expanding the range of detectable nuclei. Nevertheless, efforts in terms of pulse sequence and post-processing developments as well as hardware designs must be made to obtain valuable information in clinically feasible measurement times. This review summarizes the available methods in the field of non-proton UHF MRI, especially for Na MRI, as well as introduces potential applications in clinical research.
本文概述了超高磁场(UHF)下非质子磁共振成像(MRI)的当前发展和研究应用。由于技术和方法上的进步,对生理相关原子核(如钠、氯、钾、氧或磷)进行高效MRI已变得可行,并且获取可用于生物医学和诊断应用的时空分辨信息也备受关注。钠(Na)MRI是应用最广泛的多核成像方法,其应用范围涵盖人体所有部位。Na MRI产生的体内NMR信号仅次于临床使用的质子信号(H),位居第二。然而,在UHF的MRI研究中,越来越多的研究开始使用其他原子核,如用于能量代谢的氧和磷,以及用于细胞活力研究的氯和钾。一项重大进展是全身MR扫描仪在UHF(B0≥7T)下的可用性增加,扩大了可检测原子核的范围。尽管如此,仍必须在脉冲序列、后处理开发以及硬件设计方面做出努力,以便在临床可行的测量时间内获取有价值的信息。本综述总结了非质子UHF MRI领域,特别是Na MRI的现有方法,并介绍了其在临床研究中的潜在应用。
