Background In emission tomography maximum likelihood expectation maximization reconstruction technique has replaced the analytical approaches in several applications. The most important drawback of this iterative method is its...
PURPOSE: Imaging tumor metabolism in vivo using hyperpolarized [1-13 C]pyruvate is a promising technique for detecting disease, monitoring disease progression, and assessing treatment response. However, the transient nature of...
PURPOSE: Hyperpolarized 15 N-labeled molecules have been proposed as imaging agents for investigating tissue perfusion and pH. However, the sensitivity of direct 15 N detection is limited by the isotope's low gyromagnetic ratio....
