We have developed a workflow for hyperpolarized 13C EPI phase correction that requires no reference scan. The workflow provides ghost-free images on phantoms with large or tight fields of view and where there are multiple signal sources. Dynamic images acquired from hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate and [1-13C]lactate in a tumor showed comparable image quality to those corrected using a separate 13C reference scan.
