Synopsis
Acquiring high resolution 7.5 mm2 hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate brain MRI allows for finer spatial delineation of brain structures and can be used to obtain cerebral perfusion parameters. In the healthy volunteers studied, pyruvate rCBV and rCBF were positively correlated to ASL perfusion values. Hyperpolarized pyruvate MRI can be used to assess cerebral metabolism and perfusion within the same study.
