Direct measurement of spin-lattice relaxation times of phosphorus metabolites in human myocardium.
T1 values of phosphorus metabolites visible in human cardiac 31P-MR spectra were determined in 12 volunteers at 1.5 T. Consecutive spectra were acquired with varying pulse repetition time (TR) from 1.6 to 24 s; volume selection was achieved with ISIS. T1's of creatine phosphate (CP), [gamma-P],...
