Rapid in situ carbon-13 hyperpolarization and imaging of acetate and pyruvate esters without external polarizer
Abstract Hyperpolarized 13C MRI visualizes real-time metabolic processes in vivo. In this study, we achieved high 13C polarization in situ in the bore of an MRI system for precursor molecules of most widely employed hyperpolarized agents: [1-13C]acetate and [1-13C]pyruvate ethyl esters in their perd...
