This study demonstrated that hyperpolarized ¹³C metabolic signals arising from intracellular and extracellular ¹³C metabolites can be selectively suppressed by the intracellular liver-specific gadolinium contrast agent. This data further elucidates how targeted relaxation agents affect observed hyperpolarized ¹³C signals, expanding the way these agents can be used to distinguish between specific cell types in vivo.
