## Abstract Muscle performance is markedly influenced by tissue perfu‐sion. Techniques that allow quantification of microvascular flow are limited by the use of ionizing radiation. In this investigation, we apply an NMR model previously developed by Detre ef al. to the measurement of human muscle p
Animal studies and results from 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with cirrhosis and minimal hepatic encephalopathy suggest that a disturbed brain ammonia metabolism plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE).

## Abstract Non‐invasive measurement of perfusion in skeletal muscle by in vivo magnetic resonance remains a challenge due to its low level and the correspondingly low signal‐to‐noise ratio. To enable accurate, quantitative, and time‐resolved perfusion measurements in the leg muscle, a technique wi
