    Sodium MRI provides unique insights into brain tumor physiology, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring of tumor aggressiveness and treatment response.

  • 2

    Malignant gliomas exhibit altered sodium concentrations due to increased cellularity and metabolic activity, impacting sodium imaging interpretation.

  • 3

    Sodium MRI at 3T faces limitations like low sensitivity and fast T2 decay, complicating high-resolution imaging and clinical reliability.

  • 4

    The ATHENA model enhances sodium MRI quality at 3T, enabling high-resolution synthetic images while preserving biological information.

  • 5

    ATHENA was trained on artifact-free proton MRI scans and demonstrated strong correlation with original sodium MR scans, supporting its generalizability.
