In this study we present a setup capable to monitor
changes in ionic concentration gradients
in
vitro
. The main parts of the setup are a
three
dimensional
cell
culture, a completely MR-compatible bioreactor and a
23
Na
surface coil. In a pilot study we performd a
23
Na
CSI experiment to show that we are able to resolve a non
varying reference compartment from a compartment with
varying physiological parameters.
