Hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate for monitoring metabolism of liver metastases in vivo is being investigated for clinical trials of new therapeutics. This study applied advances in multichannel receive arrays and sequence design for human 13C liver imaging and investigated a new denoising method. The method is based on an alternating projection method to enforce structuredness and low-rankness, and is applied with automatic threshold estimation.
In vivo data demonstrate improved quality of kinetic modeling after denoising. However, simulations revealed certain unresolved pitfalls.
