A major challenge in the clinical management of prostate
cancer is the differentiation of aggressive cancer from
indolent disease. We developed a novel protocol using
dynamic 3D compressed sensing EPSI to quantitatively
assess aggressive prostate cancer on transgenic mouse
model of prostate cancer (TRAMP) using dual agent
hyperpolarized [C13]-pyruvate & [C13]-urea for
simultaneous metabolic and perfusion MR. The dynamic HP
[C13] results demonstrated significantly (P<.001) higher
rates of lactate production and lower perfusion (P<.003)
in high grade tumors versus low grade.
