Molecular imaging with hyperpolarized C-13 substrates provides valuable metabolic exchange information non-invasively. In this work, the dynamic Metabolic Activity Decomposition Stimulated-echo Acquisition Mode (MAD-STEAM) sequence was applied to a switchable oncogene-driven breast cancer mouse model. The results showed the feasibility of using MAD-STEAM to detect enzymatic activity changes within tumor and demonstrated its potential to monitor tumor progression and regression.
