Imaging tests were performed to demonstrate the
feasibility of synchronized 1H / 19F / 23Na/ 31P MR imaging at 3T by
using developed quadruple-nuclear RF coil. The imaging approach combined with
triple-tuned 19F / 23Na/
31P receive coil also
indicated the improved SNR.

(a)-(b): The 1H/19F/23Na/31P MR
measured images obtained with the specific phantom. (a) only
scanned by using the quadruple-nuclear RF coil. (b) Combined the
quadruple-nuclear coil and triple tuned local 19F/23Na/31P
receive coil. (c)-(d): SNR maps for the 1H/19F/23Na/31P
imaging. (c) Without the local triple-tuned RF coils. (d) Combined with the local triple-tuned 19F/23Na/31P
receive RF coils. The position of the local
receive RF coil was indicated by the white dotted-line, and the SNR of the
region indicated by the red arrow is significantly improved.
