Sodium concentration maps acquired using spin density weighting with varying TR values in the range 100–300 ms and compared to the concentration map produced by the VFA method. This method also returns a T1 map of the object. It is possible to notice that the maps obtained with the spin density acquisition performed with the longest TR and from the VFA method have the same contrast, while at shorter TRs, due to saturation the liquid component the images have stronger contrast. The computed T1 map matches well the structure and the relaxation properties of the phantom.
