Synopsis
Alkaline inorganic phosphate (Pialk) is a promising biomarker of mitochondrial content in vivo that is technically challenging to assess at 3T. The absolute and relative reproducibility of Pialk in the quadriceps muscle across two visits were assessed in healthy sedentary-to-moderately active young adults using 31P-MRS at 3T. The results of this study demonstrate an excellent absolute and relative reproducibility of the quantification of Pialk in the quadriceps muscle at 3T provided that the coil is positioned at the mid-thigh.
