Simultaneous assessment of cardiac metabolism and perfusion using copolarized [1‐13C]pyruvate and 13C‐urea
Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of imaging a bolus of co‐polarized [1‐13C]pyruvate and 13C‐urea to simultaneously assess both metabolism and perfusion in the rodent heart. Methods Copolarized [1‐13C]pyruvate and 13C‐urea was imaged using a multi‐echo, flow‐sensitized spiral pulse sequence. H...
