Dynamic nuclear polarization is an emerging technique for increasing the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy, particularly for low-gamma nuclei. The technique has been applied recently to a number of C-13-labeled cell metabolites in biological systems: the increase in signal-to-noise allows the spatial distribution of an injected molecule to be imaged as well as its metabolic product or products. This review highlights the most significant molecules investigated to date in preclinical cancer models, either in terms of their demonstrated metabolism in vivo or the biological processes that they can probe. In particular, label exchange between hyperpolarized C-13-labeled pyruvate and lactate, catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase, has been shown to have a number of potential applications. Finally, techniques to image these molecules are also discussed as well as methods that may extend the lifetime of the hyperpolarized signal. Hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging have shown great promise for the imaging of cancer in preclinical work, both for diagnosis and for monitoring therapy response. If the challenges in translating this technique to human imaging can be overcome, then it has the potential to significantly alter the management of cancer patients. Magn Reson Med 66:505-519, 2011.
