Spectroscopy is widely used in hyperpolarized metabolic experiments due to its simplicity and robustness. In this work, it is shown that with spectroscopic acquisition in rat hearts, the cardiac lactate production is overestimated due to liver metabolism of [1-13] pyruvate. It is demonstrated that this overestimation can be addressed using spatially resolved data.
