The effect of B0 inhomogeneity on the quantification of hyperpolarized metabolic data is studied using simulations based on B0 maps acquired in-vivo in rat hearts at 9.4T. Kinetic modelling is compared to area-under-the-curve analysis and both methods are applied to average signals over myocardial segments and individual voxels, respectively.
