A dual-phase ¹³C imaging sequence that acquires multi-echo images of hyperpolarized [1-¹³C]pyruvate, [1-¹³C]lactate, [1-¹³C]alanine and [¹³C]bicarbonate was implemented to acquire metabolic data at both end systole and end diastole from the human heart in a single injection. The proposed method was demonstrated in short-axis and long-axis ventricle views.
