(a) 31P MRS of human liver. Selected voxel in the transverse image around the liver is shown with the r.f. coil position and the reference phantom for absolute phosphorus metabolite quantification. (b) The human 31P MRS of the liver is shown in the right panel. Hepatic phosphorus metabolites are α-, β- and γ-adenosine triphosphate (ATP), uridine diphosphoglucose (UDPG), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (/phosphate) (NADP(/H)), phosphatidylcholine (PtdC), inorganic phosphate (Pi), phosphocholine (PC), phosphoethanol (PE), glycerophosphoethanolamine (GPE) and glycerophosphocholine (GPC). MRS, magnetic resonance spectroscopy; r.f., radiofrequency.27
