This study reports proton relaxation times of water and metabolites in soleus and tibialis anterior muscles of young healthy volunteers at 3 T. The results are in agreement with data reported for 1.5 and 4 T, showing a steady increase of spin-lattice relaxation times of water, creatine and lipids with B-0 and no effect of B-0 on spin-spin relaxation. Comparison between muscles revealed a longer spin-spin relaxation time of water in soleus than in tibialis anterior muscle (31 +/- 1 ms vs. 28 +/- 1 ms, p < 0.05). These data can be applied to relaxation correction for the absolute quantification of skeletal muscle metabolite concentrations and further sequence optimization.
