An optimized GRASE sequence was developed for dynamic hyperpolarized ¹³C Imaging and demonstrated the feasibility for human brain research. The multi-echo signal can either be used to encode a 3D volume or as a 2D multi-echo approach to increase SNR or estimate T2. Varied crusher gradients were investigated to reduce the loss of longitudinal hyperpolarized ¹³C magnetization.
