There has been growing interest recently in using hyperpolarized [2-13C]pyruvate, to follow the 13C label into metabolic products including glutamate (in exchange with α-ketoglutarate in the TCA cycle), citrate, and acetylcarnitine as well as lactate and alanine. CSI with [2-13C]Pyr is challenging given the wide spectral dispersion of the resonances. This work presents an improved design for 3D CSI with [2-13C]Pyr using spectrally selective excitation of limited frequency bands containing a subset of metabolites, and interleaving different bands to acquire dynamic metabolic data in vivo in rat liver.
