A method for frequency-selective, high-resolution acquisition of hyperpolarized substrate and its downstream metabolites in vivo in 9.4T is presented. The spatial displacement caused by the chemical shift is utilized in the acquisition of metabolite-selective images by modifying the slice-selection gradients duration and polarity. By doing so, spectral bands of neighboring resonances can be pushed outside the subject while acquisition is done in a frequency-interleaved manner. In this work, a simple implementation of this concept into a conventional 3D CSI sequence is presented, along with initial application results from in vivo mouse kidney experiment in 9.4T.
