Combined parallel and partial fourier MR reconstruction for accelerated 8‐channel hyperpolarized carbon‐13 in vivo magnetic resonance Spectroscopic imaging (MRSI)

To implement and evaluate combined parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and partial Fourier acquisition and reconstruction for rapid hyperpolarized carbon‐13 (13C) spectroscopic imaging. Short acquisition times mitigate hyperpolarized signal losses that occur due to T1 decay, metabolism, and radiofrequency (RF) saturation. Human applications additionally require rapid imaging to permit breath‐holding and to minimize the effects of physiologic motion.
