Hyperpolarized ¹³C MR imaging can provide simultaneous assessments of metabolism and perfusion to study disease processes. High resolution dynamic imaging is needed to fully understand these processes, but is challenging, especially on clinically relevant systems. This project investigated new methods for spectral selectivity with SNR-efficient bSSFP sequences to provide improved high resolution 3D dynamic in vivo HP ¹³C MR imaging at 3T.
