Dynamic 31P-MRSI experiments require temporal resolution on the order of seconds to concurrently assess metabolic change in different muscles. In this study we developed a pulse sequence using a flyback-EPSI readout combined with compressed sensing (CS) to achieve a 9 second temporal resolution and tested it in 11 healthy volunteers during an exercise-recovery challenge of the lower leg muscles. Our results showed that the sequence was capable of assessing PCr depletion/recovery and intracellular pH at rest and following exercise, of multiple muscle groups simultaneously, using a clinical 3T MR system.
