Hyperpolarized $$^{13}\text{C}$$\$-imaging techniques a powerful and clinically translatable method to image metabolism. However, owing to the finite and non-renewable magnetisation available to the technique, all proposed imaging sequences necessarily have a comparatively small matrix size compared to conventional anatomical imaging. Typically hyperpolarized images are therefore reconstructed with a large degree of zero-filling. We show here that a modified form of 2D least-squares linear prediction that uses the known analytic properties of trigonometric curves can extrapolate unmeasured Fourier coefficients and hence improve the apparent reconstructed resolution of hyperpolarized images.
