Improved Myocardial Sodium Quantification at <scp>7 T</scp> Using Interleaved <scp> <sup>23</sup> Na </scp> / <scp> <sup>1</sup> H pTx MRI </scp> With Motion and Anatomy‐Based <scp> B <sub>1</sub> </scp> Correction
The combination of retrospective motion correction and anatomy-based B<sub>1</sub> bias field correction enables repeatable myocardial sodium quantification at 7 T. The interleaved acquisition facilitates robust segmentation and efficient use of <sup>1</sup>H MRI for motion and B<sub>1</sub> correction, providing a scalable framework for future clinical research studies.
