Hyperpolarized 1- 13 C-pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and MRS imaging (MRSI) offer noninvasive and real-time direct assessment of the altered metabolism of cancer cells known as the Warburg effect-a key hallmark of cancer. When combined with simultaneously acquired 18 F-FDG PET in a PET/MR scanner, coined hyperPET by us, this dual-modality may unveil cancer-type specific glucose metabolic phenotypes with potential implications for patient prognostication, treatment-response assessment, and prediction. We here present the first human data of simultaneously acquired hyperpolarized MRS/MRSI and PET performed in a PET/MR scanner-and the first human hyperpolarized MRS/MRSI data from a patient with lymphoma.

The achievable spatial resolution of C metabolic images acquired with hyperpolarized C-pyruvate is worse than H images typically by an order of magnitude due to the rapidly decaying hyperpolarized signals and the low gyromagnetic ratio of C. This study is to develop and characterize a volumetric patch-based super-resolution reconstruction algorithm that enhances spatial resolution C cardiac MRI by utilizing structural information from H MRI. The reconstruction procedure comprises anatomical segmentation from high-resolution H MRI, calculation of a patch-based weight matrix, and iterative reconstruction of high-resolution multi-slice C MRI.

Mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are frequent in the European population. The pathophysiological changes after TBI include metabolic changes, but these are not observable using current clinical tools. We aimed to evaluate multinuclear MRI as a mean of assessing these changes.

Article Synopsis
  • High grade serous ovarian cancer has two metabolic subtypes: a high OXPHOS subtype that is more chemosensitive and a low OXPHOS subtype that relies on glycolysis and is more drug resistant.
  • The low OXPHOS subtype shows higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase and monocarboxylate transporter 4, indicating different metabolic behaviors compared to the high OXPHOS subtype.
  • Two imaging techniques, C magnetic resonance spectroscopy and PET scans, can differentiate between these subtypes and track their treatment responses, offering potential clinical applications for patient management.

Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) can provide strong signal enhancement (SE) to an array of molecules through reversible exchange of parahydrogen (pH) derived hydrides and a suitable substrate coordinated to a transition metal. Among the substrates that can be used as a probe for hyperpolarised NMR and MRI, pyruvate has gained much attention. SABRE can hyperpolarise pyruvate in a low cost, fast, and reversible fashion that does not involve technologically demanding equipment.
