Investigation of analysis methods for hyperpolarized 13C‐pyruvate metabolic MRI in prostate cancer patients

MRI using hyperpolarized (HP) carbon‐13 pyruvate is being investigated in clinical trials to provide non‐invasive measurements of metabolism for cancer and cardiac imaging. In this project, we applied HP [1‐13C]pyruvate dynamic MRI in prostate cancer to measure the conversion from pyruvate to lactate, which is expected to increase in aggressive cancers. The goal of this work was to develop and test analysis methods for improved quantification of this metabolic conversion.
