    Journal: MAGMA; 2004 Mar; 16(4):155-9. PubMed ID: 15042412.
    Abstract:
    This study reports proton relaxation times of water and metabolites in soleus and tibialis anterior muscles of young healthy volunteers at 3 T. The results are in agreement with data reported for 1.5 and 4 T, showing a steady increase of spin-lattice relaxation times of water, creatine and lipids with B(0) and no effect of B(0) on spin-spin relaxation. Comparison between muscles revealed a longer spin-spin relaxation time of water in soleus than in tibialis anterior muscle (31+/-1 ms vs. 28+/-1 ms, p<0.05). These data can be applied to relaxation correction for the absolute quantification of skeletal muscle metabolite concentrations and further sequence optimization.
