Fig. 4From: Regional quantification of cardiac metabolism with hyperpolarized [1-13C]-pyruvate CMR evaluated in an oral glucose challengeQuantification using AUC ratios and pharmacokinetic modeling in the same healthy volunteer subjects as Fig. 3 (subjects HV6, left, and HV7, right). kPL is the 13C-pyruvate to 13C-lactate rate and kPB is the 13C-pyruvate to 13C-bicarbonate rate. Note the maps are only computed in regions that meet a minimum pyruvate AUC SNR threshold as pyruvate signal is required for these quantificationsBack to article page
