Description
Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (31P MRS) is a non-invasive imaging technique that estimates concentrations of high-energy phosphates, offering insights into cell metabolism and neuromuscular disorders. Its clinical adoption is hindered by the need for specialized coils, but using a volume coil dual-tuned to 1H and 31P for 3D Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Imaging (3D-MRSI) can overcome this difficulty. Our approach allows for fast acquisition with improved spectral resolution at Ultra-High Field (7T). This approach can potentially enhance 31P metabolic imaging in clinical settings.
