Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a new rapid imaging technique using hyperpolarized carbon MRI to capture real-time metabolic reactions in small areas of the body during medical imaging.
- A specialized pulse sequence was developed, tested in laboratory settings, and later applied to live rats to track metabolic changes related to two carbon compounds, achieving impressive spatial and temporal resolution.
- Results showed that this new imaging strategy effectively differentiated metabolic activity across organs, with certain metabolic processes, like the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, prominent in the liver and others in the kidneys and heart, enabling better understanding of metabolic pathways.
