Time-averaged 13C metabolite maps of a slice through the liver superimposed on to 1H MR images. A central slice from a 3D acquisition centered on the liver is shown. The images were averaged from two injections of hyperpolarized [2-13C]pyruvate. Only the glutamate band and lactate band were imaged and the pyruvate band was not imaged in this case. The acetylcarnitine resonance lies within the glutamate frequency band.
