Background   23 Na magnetic resonance imaging ( 23 Na-MRI) is able to measure Na +  in vivo in humans and allows quantification of tissue sodium distribution. We now tested the utility of  23 Na-MRI technique in detecting and assessing sports-related acute muscular injury.    Case presentation  We assessed tissue Na +  of both lower legs with a 3T MRI scanner using a customized  23 Na knee coil. The affected left calf muscle in an injured volleyball player showed a hyperintense Na +  signal. Follow-up measurements revealed persistently increased muscle Na +  content despite complete clinical recovery.    Conclusions  Our findings suggest that  23 Na-MRI could have utility in detecting subtle muscular injury and might indicate when complete healing has occurred. Furthermore,  23 Na-MRI suggests the presence of substantial injury-related muscle electrolyte shifts that warrant more detailed investigation.
