Integrated approach of the metabolism and the muscle perfusion in imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Oxygen is necessary to the tissue life. Every step from its transport of the ambient medium to its consumption by cells are essential to the right functioning of organism. The involved phenomena are complex and use numerous different mechanisms. In order to better understand the functioning, it has been developed a non traumatic, non irradiating and quantitative method that allows to measure in the same time several determinants of the tissue oxygenation.
