Abstract

Hyperpolarized (HP) 13C MRI enables noninvasive assessment of myocardial metabolism. Current approaches typically acquire data only during diastole, ignoring phase-dependent metabolic changes. This study aimed to develop an imaging technique to capture HP [13C]bicarbonate production across both systole and diastole in healthy porcine hearts under rest and stress conditions. Six Danish domestic pig…
