Figure 3

A cartoon of the acquisition strategy. Each imaging block consists of N phase encoding steps in the z direction, which are ordered centrically. One phase encoding block was obtained per R‐R interval. Three metabolites are acquired in sequential order: pyruvate (Pyr), bicarbonate (Bic), and lactate (Lac). The overall flip angle for each 3D image was ϑ. The in‐plane blipped EPI phase encoding axis, ky, was alternated on successive acquisitions of the same metabolite.
