³¹P-MR spectroscopy inversion transfer (IT) is increasingly investigated as a complementary method to study ATP-synthesis and creatine kinase in vivo. Three aspects of the IT experiment are studied here, in a test-retest design (12 volunteers, resting vastus muscle): the ability to produce an efficient half band inversion in vivo with a short asymmetric adiabatic pulse, the repeatability of the kinetic parameters estimation at 3T and the impact of two different fitting strategies (individual spectrum vs. two-dimensional fitting). As a result, k[Pi>γ-ATP] can be reliably estimated within cohorts while k[PCr>γ-ATP] is accurate enough to be distinguished between individuals.
