A referenceless Nyquist ghost correction workflow for echo planar imaging of hyperpolarized [1-13 C]pyruvate and [1-13 C]lactate.
Single-shot echo planar imaging (EPI), which allows an image to be acquired using a single excitation pulse, is used widely for imaging the metabolism of hyperpolarized 13 C-labelled metabolites in vivo as the technique is rapid...
