What is it indicated for?

Siemens developed the Clinical Phosphorus Spectroscopy Option for the Magnetom Vision system to allow the non-invasive in vivo analysis of energy metabolites in muscle, liver and heart tissue. The package allows observation of phosphocreatine (PCr), inorganic phosphate (Pi), Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphomonoester (PME), phosphodiester (PDE) levels. Information provided by phosphorus spectroscopy data allows evaluation of the energetic state of examined tissues and intracellular pH, measured from the chemical shift of Pi.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
