AB - <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Quantitative sodium MRI requires accurate knowledge of factors affecting the sodium signal. One important determinant of sodium signal level is the transmit <jats:italic>B</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub> field strength. However, the low signaltonoise ratio typical of sodium MRI makes accurate <jats:italic>B</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub> mapping in reasonable scan times challenging. A new phasesensitive <jats:italic>B</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub> mapping technique has recently been shown to work better than the widely used dualangle method in lowsignaltonoise ratio situations and over a broader range of flip angles. In this work, the phasesensitive <jats:italic>B</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub> mapping technique is applied to sodium, and its performance compared to the dualangle method through both simulation and phantom studies. The phasesensitive method is shown to yield higher quality <jats:italic>B</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub> maps at low signaltonoise ratio and greater consistency of measurement than the dualangle method. An in vivo sodium <jats:italic>B</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub> map of the human breast is also shown, demonstrating the phasesensitive method's feasibility for human studies.
