The first picture shows a transversal cut of my right calf.
It is a T1-weighted Spin-Echo-Tomograph.

|
The second picture shows the same are of the calf,
but this time as a lipid-selective tomograph. (white areas contain more lipids)
|
The concentration of intracellular lipids decreased about 25% in the
musculus soleus whereas the concentration in the musculus tibialis anterior remained nearly constant.
|
Both pictures where taken by
Jürgen Machann from the
Dept. of Diagnostic Radiology.
If you have any questions concerning NMR technology or the
interpretation of the picuters, please contact him.
