Phosphorus 31 magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy was used for the study of liver
metabolism in vivo in seven healthy subjects. Subjects were examined in a 1.6 T whole-body …

We have developed 31P NMR spectroscopic methods to determine quantitatively relative
levels of phosphorous-containing metabolites in the human myocardium. We have used …

The potential clinical use of topical magnetic resonance spectroscopy (volume selection by
static magnetic field gradients) was tested in 50 studies in volunteers. Topical magnetic …

Recent studies in man demonstrated a marked ketogenic effect of increased plasma
norepinephrine concentrations as observed in diabetic ketoacidosis. Since this effect may have …

ABSTRACT: An oral load of 20 mg/kg galactose produces significant changes in the 31 P
magnetic resonance spectrum of the liver of a galactosemic patient. The peak at 5.2 ppm (…

RESULTS Figure 1 illustrates the effect of magnetic field profiling. By this method the
homogeneous volume of the magnet can be varied between concentric spheres of 4-10 cm in …

In 1981, we reported our first examination of a patient with a muscle disease using" P magnetic
resonance spectroscopy.'This patient lacked the enzyme phosphorylase and, therefore, …

The progress in development of techniques designed to localize “P NMR speo troscopy in
human subjects has advanced to the stage where it is now possible to investigate disorders of …

RESULTS Figure 1 shows P-31 spectra of normal human brain. The brain spectra show the
resonances of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), inorganic phosphate (Pi), phosphocreatine (…
