In vivo P-31 MR diffusion spectroscopy

Description

This paper discusses the Stejskal-Tanner diffusion spin-echo sequence modified for the in vivo diffusion spectroscopy. The apparent diffusion constant Dα was measured as a function of the diffusion time. Contrary to the results in phantom samples, a strong dependency of the Dα for phosphocreatine (PCr) in the rat muscle tissue on diffusion time was observed, clearly indicating restricted diffusion effects and allowing an approximation of the size of the restricted volume (8-13 μm). This size fits well with the known dimensions of a normal muscle cell
