“…The present work, along with recent efforts toward the preparation of biocompatible solutions with SABRE-hyperpolarized agents − and the first demonstrations of in vivo SABRE imaging, , bode well for future preclinical and clinical SABRE-enhanced MRI with LF point-of-care scanners for envisioned biomedical applications. Indeed, although the present scanner can only detect protons, the recent realization of proton-only detection of HP heteronuclei ,, opens the possibility of point-of-care molecular imaging of HP 13 C-based metabolic agents like HP pyruvate, the subject of 30-plus clinical trials to date.…”
