Abstract

The sensitivity of in vivo MRS of the N‐δ proton of the proximal histidine of deoxymyoglobin in human skeletal muscles is discussed. Longitudinal relaxation time T1 of this deoxymyoglobin signal was measured in cuffed human forearms at 1.5 T and found to be 9.9 ms. Deoxymyoglobin spectra can be obtained from a forearm in seconds. The detection sensitivity of deoxymyoglobin in fully ischemic skeletal muscles and that of31P MRS of PCr in normal resting muscles are compared.
