The feasibility of using a proton-only pulse sequence to measure dynamic glutamate and glutamine labeling process during infusion of 13 C labeled glucose at 7T was demonstrated by numerical simulations and in vivo experiments on two healthy volunteers. Compared to conventional proton-observed 13 C-edited experiments, the proton-only pulse sequence is much simpler in hardware and software requirements since it is a pure 1 H pulse sequence with no RF pulses at 13 C resonances.
