Metabolite-Specific Echo Planar Imaging for Preclinical Studies with Hyperpolarized 13C-Pyruvate MRI [PDF]
Metabolite-specific echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequences with spectral–spatial (spsp) excitation are commonly used in clinical hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate studies because of their speed, efficiency, and flexibility.
