Glycosaminogycans (GAGs) are involved in numerous vital functions in the human body. Mapping the GAG concentration in vivo is desirable for the diagnosis and monitoring of a number of diseases such as osteoarthritis, which affects millions of individuals. GAG loss in cartilage is typically an initiating event in osteoarthritis. Another widespread pathology related to GAG is intervertebral disk degeneration. Currently existing techniques for GAG monitoring, such as delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI contrast (dGEMRIC), T 1 ρ , and 23 Na MRI, have some practical limitations. We show that by exploiting the exchangeable protons of GAG one may directly measure the localized GAG concentration in vivo with high sensitivity and therefore obtain a powerful diagnostic MRI method.

In this article we present an up‐to‐date overview of the potential biomedical applications of sodium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo. Sodium MRI is a subject of increasing interest in translational imaging research as it can give some direct and quantitative biochemical information on the tissue viability, cell integrity and function, and therefore not only help the diagnosis but also the prognosis of diseases and treatment outcomes. It has already been applied in vivo in most human tissues, such as brain for stroke or tumor detection and therapeutic response, in breast cancer, in articular cartilage, in muscle, and in kidney, and it was shown in some studies that it could provide very useful new information not available through standard proton MRI. However, this technique is still very challenging due to the low detectable sodium signal in biological tissue with MRI and hardware/software limitations of the clinical scanners. The article is divided in three parts: 1) the role of sodium in biological tissues, 2) a short review on sodium magnetic resonance, and 3) a review of some studies on sodium MRI on different organs/diseases to date.J.

The feasibility of using sodium magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to detect proteoglycan loss in early-stage osteoarthritis is evaluated. Fixed charge density (FCD) maps were calculated from sodium MR imaging data collected in nine healthy volunteers and three individuals with symptoms of early-stage osteoarthritis by using a 4.0-T clinical MR imaging unit. Data from the healthy individuals revealed a mean FCD of -182 mmol/L +/- 9. Data from the symptomatic subjects revealed focal regions of decreased FCD, with mean values ranging from -108 to -144 mmol/L, indicating proteoglycan loss from the cartilage matrix. The data suggest that sodium MR imaging has potential for use as a quantitative diagnostic tool to measure changes in proteoglycan content in early-stage osteoarthritis.
