## Abstract We show here that hyperpolarized [1‐^13^C]pyruvate can be used to detect treatment response in a glioma tumor model; a tumor type where detection of response with ^18^fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose, using positron emission tomography, is limited by the high background signals from normal brain t
