Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Ratio of Inorganic Phosphate (Pi) over phosphocreatine (PCr): Pi/PCr

Time Frame: 2 years

31P-MRS allows quantification of high-energy phosphate metabolites such as phosphocreatine and inorganic phosphate

Secondary Outcomes

  • Correlation between primary outcome measure and clinical parameters(2 years)
  • Study of longitudinal changes in Pi/PCr ratio over time.(2 years)
