Phosphate metabolite distribution in gray matter and white matter in human brain is compared between healthy control (HC) and subjects with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) using ³¹P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) at 7T. Phosphate metabolites are decreased in GM in MS compared to healthy controls.
