Table 1:
Hyperpolarized 13C agent information that we typically keep track of during our studies.
| HP 13C Agent Information | Purpose/Description |
|---|---|
| HP 13C agent(s) injected | Describe the composition of the injected agents. Note that this can include simultaneous injection of multiple agents |
| Administration route of agent | How was the HP solution delivered |
| Total Injected Volume | How much HP solution was injected in total |
| Concentration of each HP agent | Concentration of each HP agent in HP solution |
| Start Time of injection | Describe the timing of the start of injection, important to know relative to the data acquisition timing |
| Total injection duration | Over how long was the HP solution injected |
| Polarization | What was the measured polarization of the HP agent(s). Typically back-calculated to the time of dissolution. |
| Polarization Measurement Timing | timing of the polarization measurement relative to the data acquisition |
| Agent Relaxation Rates (e.g. T1) | Expected or measured relaxation rates used to calculate polarization |
| Dissolution Timing | Timing of the dissolution of the HP agent, most important to know relative to the data acquisition |
