Detection of tumour treatment response using hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate

The exchange reaction between hyperpolarized 1-<sup>13</sup>C pyruvate and lactate, catalysed by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), can now be measured in real-time with <sup>13</sup>C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaged in tissues using <sup>13</...
