In this study, a performance of the depth resolved surface coil MRS (DRESS) sequence was assessed in exercising gastrocnemius muscle at 7T. Two dynamic examinations (one non-localized and one DRESS-localized) were performed and the measured metabolic parameters were compared. Significantly higher PCr drop and no Pi split in the DRESS localized spectra point towards good 31 P signal localization from the gastrocnemius muscle.
