Quantification pipeline: a combination of ${}^{23}\text{Na}$ and ${}^1$H imaging modalities are employed to isolate the intracellular component of the total sodium signal. From left to right: four GRE images with incremental TE’s, a ${}^{23}\text{Na}$ FLORET image and two ${}^1$H ${\text{T}}_1$ measurements (pre and post contrast) are independently elaborated to generate, respectively, WF, TSC and ECV. Ultimately, these three maps are combined (Eq. 1) to calculate ${\text{C}}_{\text{IC}}$ and ICV.
