Rapid multislice imaging of hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate and bicarbonate in the heart.

Hyperpolarization of spins via dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has been explored as a method to non-invasively study real-time metabolic processes occurring in vivo using (13)C-labeled substrates. Recently, hyperpolarized (13)C pyruvate has been used to characterize in vivo cardiac metabolism in...
