<sup>11</sup>C-acetate is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer of oxidative metabolism, whereas hyperpolarized <sup>13</sup>C-acetate can be used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for investigating specific metabolic processes. The aims of this study were to examine if the kinetic formalism of <sup>11</sup>C-acetate PET in the kidneys is comparable to that of <sup>13</sup>C-acetate MRI, and to compare the dynamic metabolic information of hyperpolarized <sup>13</sup>C-acetate MRI with th ...[more]
