The feasibility of interleaved imaging and selective
spectroscopic acquisition for hyperpolarized
13
C
is demonstrated
in
vivo
. The asymmetry of the pyruvate C
2
doublet
has been shown to correlate with the instantaneous
polarization. Combined with a calibration-based
interpretation of measured C
2
asymmetry, this
investigation is a promising step toward hyperpolarized
signal intensity normalization for quantitative
in
vivo
metabolic
image analysis.
