Human cardiac 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 3T with a receive array: is single-loop or dual-loop RF transmission superior?
Human cardiac phosphorous MR spectroscopy (31P-MRS) provides direct insight into cardiac energetics by measuring concentrations of ATP, ADP, phosphocreatine (PCr) and other species. Yet at 3T, excitation flip angles in the inferior segments of the myocardium have been limited to be much less than th...
