A major challenge in cancer biology is to monitor and understand cancer metabolism in vivo
with the goal of improved diagnosis and perhaps therapy. Because of the complexity of …

An extraordinary new technique using hyperpolarized 13 C-labeled pyruvate and taking
advantage of increased glycolysis in cancer has the potential to improve the way magnetic …

Contrast agents incorporating superparamagnetic iron‐oxide nanoparticles have shown
promise as a means to visualize labeled cells using MRI. Labeled cells cause significant signal …

For in vivo magnetic resonance imaging at high field (≥3 T) it is essential to consider the
homogeneity of the active B 1 field (B 1 +), particularly if surface coils are used for RF …

This white paper discusses prospects for advancing hyperpolarization technology to better
understand cancer metabolism, identify current obstacles to HP (hyperpolarized) 13 C …

Rationale: Altered cardiac energetics is known to play an important role in the progression
toward heart failure. A noninvasive method for imaging metabolic markers that could be used …

Single‐shot echo‐planar imaging (ss‐EPI) has not been used widely for diffusion‐weighted
imaging (DWI) of the spinal cord, because of the magnetic field inhomogeneities around the …

Balanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) imaging sequences require short repetition
times (TRs) to avoid off‐resonance artifacts. The use of slab‐selective excitations is common, …

The transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate (TRAMP) mouse is a well‐studied
murine model of prostate cancer with histopathology and disease progression that mimic the …

Breast tumor diagnosis requires both high spatial resolution to obtain information about tumor
morphology and high temporal resolution to probe the kinetics of contrast uptake. Adaptive …
