Spectra acquired with the interleaved TR sequence using a single AHP excitation frequency centred at the 2,3-DPG resonance (marked with a black arrow near the x-axis in the red voxel spectra). Spectra are shown for voxels in the chest wall muscle down to the intraventricular septum. Note the increased Pi amplitude in all voxels acquired at longer TR, demonstrating the improved detectability of Pi, which allows for reliable cardiac pHi determination. The effective voxel size is depicted using a dashed white line
