ATP synthesis through ATP synthase rate measurement by
conventional
31
P
saturation transfer (ST) methods requires long
experiment times. A novel
31
P
magnetization transfer spectroscopic magnetic resonance
fingerprinting (MT-MRF) pulse sequence was designed to
encode magnetization transfer of ATP metabolites. The
flexibility in sequence design was utilized to improve
encoding of magnetization transfer through ATP synthase.
Measurement using
31
P
MT-MRF method was shown in vivo rat hind-limb to agree
with conventional ST method for ATP synthesis rate
measurement.
31
P
MT-MRF exhibited improved measurement precision over ST
for rate measurement of ATP synthesis through ATP
synthase, suggesting decreased required imaging time.
