Simultaneous multislice acquisition without trajectory modification for hyperpolarized <sup>13</sup>C experiments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the feasibility of performing large FOV hyperpolarized 13 C metabolic imaging using simultaneous multislice excitation. Methods A spectral‐spatial multislice excitation pulse was constructed by cosine modulation and incorporated into a 13 C spiral imaging sequence. Phantom and in vivo pig experiments were performed to test the feasibility of simultaneous multislice data acquisition and image reconstruction. In vivo cardiac‐gated images of hyperpolarized pyruvate, bicarbonate, and lactate were obtained at 1 × 1 × 1 cm 3 resolution over a 48 × 48 × 24 cm 3 FOV with 2‐fold acceleration in the slice direction. Sensitivity encoding was used for image reconstruction with both autocalibrated and numerically calculated coil sensitivities. Results Simultaneous multislice images obtained with 2‐fold acceleration were comparable to reference unaccelerated images. Retained SNR figures greater than 80% were achieved over the part of the image containing the heart. Conclusion This method is anticipated to enable large FOV imaging studies using hyperpolarized 13 C substrates, with an aim toward whole‐body exams that have to date been out of reach.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
