Metabolic imaging of energy metabolism in traumatic brain injury using hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is known to cause perturbations in the energy metabolism of the brain, but current tests of metabolic activity are only indirect markers of energy use or are highly invasive. Here we show that hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) ca...
