Keywords: Signal Modeling, Hyperpolarized MR (Non-Gas), 13C Signal Dynamics, 13C MRI, Enzyme Kinetics, Reaction Kinetics, MetabolismIn this study, we used a particle-based Brownian dynamics simulator with concurrent MR modeling to characterize diffusion-related effects on 13C signal dynamics. We conducted a spectrophotometric lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity assay with and without the presence of glass beads to measure the influence of diffusion constraints and spatial compartmentalization on the reaction kinetics of LDH-mediated conversion of pyruvate to lactate. We also investigated the relationship between diffusion and RF refocusing in a typical fast GRE sequence by comparing simulated signal intensities for RF spoiled and non-spoiled GRE sequences applied under varying diffusion conditions.
