Brief summary
The overarching aim of this project is to determine the test re-test reliability of 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements in infants. Primary endpoints include two separate measures of in vivo mitochondrial capacity (ATPmax) over a 1-10 day period to assess feasibility and reliability.
