Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy

Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy thoroughly explains HP 13C MRI, its principles and the rapidly evolving state-of-the-art. Users will learn how to design a hyperpolarized carbon-13 MR experiment, perform a hyperpolarized carbon-13 MR experiment, and analyze and interpret hyperpolarized carbon-13 MR data. MRI with hyperpolarized carbon-13 agents is a powerful, emerging human imaging modality that can measure real-time metabolism. It's primary use is for metabolic imaging, but it can also measure perfusion, pH, and necrosis. This book explains how it works, presents requirements, shows how to interpret results, and gives an overview of current biomedical applications. It is very suitable for engineers, scientists and clinicians in radiology and biomedical imaging who want to understand this technology.
