Hyperpolarized(HP) carbon-13(
13
C) MR
spectroscopic imaging was performed to detect the
metabolic features of tumorigenesis in a mouse model of
mammary malignancy. 11 mice with tumors were imaged on a
4.7T small animal MR system. Dynamic
13
C
imaging was performed after intravenous (IV) injection
of HP
13
C-pyruvate
followed by dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI using IV
gadodiamide. Lactate was identified as a metabolite of
HP
13
C-pyruvate
in 2/11 mice. Preliminary results demonstrate
inconsistency between contrast-enhanced perfusion and HP
13
C-lactate,
suggesting that HP
13
C
imaging may identify spatial heterogeneity in
metabolism, within and between tumors, which differs
from perfusion with DCE MRI.
