Hyperpolarized¹³C imaging development has enabled monitoring of different physiological processes, such as metabolism and perfusion, in various diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. The relaxation parameters T₁ and T₂ are essential in sequence optimization and modeling, and can be used for assessment of healthy versus diseased tissue. The goal of this project was to develop and apply simultaneous in vivo T₁ and T₂ mapping of hyperpolarized ¹³C probes using bSSFP sequence. Results indicated multiple approaches can be used to obtain high resolution T₁ and T₂ maps.
