Strenuous exercise can result in muscle injury that may persist for 2 weeks. Our purpose was to determine if muscle injury can be detected with 31 -P magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Normal subjects performed repeated lengthening contractions with either arms or legs designed to result in mild muscl

β¦ Synopsis
31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was applied in vivo to study metabolic changes in spinal cord after experimental traumatic injury. Severe trauma, resulting in spastic paraplegia, caused an early and sustained loss of high energy phosphates with profound intracellular acidosis. Early metabolic changes after traumatic spinal injury may predict irreversible tissue damage.

P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was performed in vivo on normal and ischemic rat intestine. Within 3 min after induction of ischemia, there is a dramatic fall in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and rise in inorganic phosphate (Pi). Our results suggest that MRS may prove useful in the early dete
## Abstract The feasibility of performing highβresolution in vivo MRI on mouse spinal cord (SC) at 9.4 T magnetic field strength is demonstrated. The MR properties of the cord tissue were measured and the characteristics of water diffusion in the SC were quantified. The data indicate that the diffe
Localized "P N M R spectroscopy was used to study the developing human liver in three neonates and one infant, all with neonatal intracranial problems, but normal liver function. A prominent resonance was present in the phosphomonoester (PME) region of the spectrum of the neonates; the PME/ATP ratio
