title: pH mapping in living tissues: an application of in vivo 31P NMR chemical shift imaging.
abstract: Chemical shifts were extracted from in vivo 3-dimensional 31P NMR CSI data and pH images were constructed. The images could spatially resolve tissue pH ranging from 5.8 to 7.2 (with uncertainty of 0.11-0.17 pH unit) in an ischemia-reperfusion model of diabetic rat calf muscles.
