In this study, we exploit the feasibility of the ¹⁷O MRSI technique for simultaneous measurement of the metabolic rates of oxygen in brain and surrounding muscle based on ROI analysis of dynamics of tissue H₂¹⁷O time courses acquired at 16.4T with 3D ¹⁷O MRSI. An established three-phase model originally developed for brain application was extended with certain assumptions applied to the resting temporalis muscle of rats.
