The first noninvasive and nonradioactive imaging of choline labelled at position 1 with hyperpolarized 13C is presented as well as monitoring of its metabolism in a specific organ (the kidney) in the living rat. The chemical shift between choline and phosphocholine is sufficient to monitor the kinetics of choline metabolism using dynamic spectroscopy. Imaging and 2D CSI are also used to monitor regional choline uptake and the metabolic products.
