Cardiac Perfusion Imaging Using Hyperpolarized C Urea Using Flow Sensitizing Gradients
Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of imaging the first passage of a bolus of hyperpolarized C urea through the rodent heart using flow-sensitizing gradients to reduce signal from the blood pool. Methods: A flow-sensitizing bipolar gradient was optimized to reduce the bright signal within the cardiac chambers, enabling improved contrast of the agent within the tissue capillary bed. The gra...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of imaging the first passage of a bolus of hyperpolarized (13)C urea through the rodent heart using flow-sensitizing gradients to reduce signal from the blood pool. METHODS A flow-sensitizing bipolar gradient was optimized to reduce the bright signal within the cardiac chambers, enabling improved contrast of the agent within the tissue capillary bed. The...
متن کاملFunctional MR imaging of kidney--novel approaches to monitoring renal physiology.
IN AN ISSUE of the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, Cornelius von Morze from the University of California (San Francisco, CA) reported the use of hyperpolarized [C]urea magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor urea transport in a rat kidney (12a). The researchers applied a bolus infusion of hyperpolarized [C]urea under acute diuretic and antidiuresis conditions and observed u...
متن کاملHyperpolarized C urea myocardial first- pass perfusion imaging using velocity- selective excitation
Background: A velocity-selective binomial excitation scheme for myocardial first-pass perfusion measurements with hyperpolarized C substrates, which preserves bolus magnetization inside the blood pool, is presented. The proposed method is evaluated against gadolinium-enhanced H measurements in-vivo. Methods: The proposed excitation with an echo-planar imaging readout was implemented on a clinic...
متن کاملCerebral dynamics and metabolism of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]pyruvate using time-resolved MR spectroscopic imaging.
Dynamic hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]pyruvate metabolic imaging in the normal anesthetized rat brain is demonstrated on a clinical 3-T magnetic resonance imaging scanner. A 12-second bolus injection of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]pyruvate is imaged at a 3-second temporal resolution. The observed dynamics are evaluated with regard to cerebral blood volume (CBV), flow, transport, and metabolic exchange wi...
