We
demonstrated the feasibility of simultaneous investigation of in vivo metabolism using 1H
MRI, time-of-flight 18F-FDG PET, and hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate
MRSI in C6 xenograft and ENU-induced brain tumor models. Volumetric images were
acquired, and metabolic kinetics of FDG and pyruvate metabolism was
investigated in the study.
