Hadamard spectroscopic imaging technique as applied to study human calf muscles

Magn Reson Med. 1992 Jun;25(2):349-54. doi: 10.1002/mrm.1910250214.

Abstract

In vivo results obtained by the B1 insensitive Hadamard spectroscopic imaging multivolume technique used with a surface coil are shown. The functional behavior of different human calf muscles during exercise was determined and the Pi/PCr ratio in each calf muscle, during steady-state conditions, was measured as a function of work level. Different levels of metabolic and physical activity were observed at the three calf muscles.
