Illustration of the process of hyperpolarized (HP) 13C magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) via the method of dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). After pre-polarization and rapid dissolution (left), the HP [1-13C]pyruvate solution is rapidly transported to the MRI scanner and injected into the subject. 13C MRI data is collected (right) showing not only the distribution of the substrate (pyr) but also its local conversion to [1-13C]lactate (lac) and [1-13C]alanine (ala) via key biochemical reactions.
