In order to determine metabolite concentrations in human skeletal muscles by in vivo P-31 MRS, different quantification methods were analyzed with regard to the accuracy and reproducibility of results and the simplicity of handling. Each quantification method comprised a calibration strategy and a localization technique. Extensive in vivo and in vitro tests showed that homonuclear phantom-based calibration strategies yielded significantly more accurate (lower systematic errors) and more reproducible (lower statistical errors) concentration estimates than heteronuclear strategies using internal water as a concentration standard. Additionally, the former strategies are easier to handle than the latter. Localization with the volume-selective sequence ISIS yielded slightly more reproducible results than localization by surface coil. We conclude that phosphorus metabolite concentrations are determined most accurately with phantom-based calibration strategies in combination with ISIS localization (measurement errors almost-equal-to 5-7%).
