## Abstract A ^13^C‐enriched water‐soluble compound (bis‐1,1‐(hydroxymethyl)‐1‐^13^C‐cyclopropane‐D~8~), with a ^13^C‐concentration of approximately 200 mM, was hyperpolarized to ∼15% using dynamic nuclear polarization, and then used as a contrast medium (CM) for contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonanc
## Abstract Interventional procedures in MRI can be performed preclinically using active or passive catheter‐tracking methods. A novel passive nonproton technique is suggested that uses a catheter filled with a hyperpolarized ^13^C contrast agent. A prototype three‐lumen catheter was built with two
is a fundamental physiological parameter that is tightly controlled by endogenous buffers. The acid-base balance is altered in many disease states, such as inflammation, ischemia and cancer. Despite the importance of pH, there are currently no routine methods for imaging the spatial distribution of
