23Na MR images of the lower leg of a ME/CFS patient and a healthy control. Increased sodium signals are visible in the muscle tissue directly after exercise in comparison to baseline and after recovery period of 25 min. The reference phantoms below the leg appear in variable intensity due to their sodium concentrations (from left to right: 10, 20, 30 and 40 mmol/L NaCl)
