In this work an efficient and novel frequency-domain signal quantification framework is presented for the analysis and interpretation of dynamically acquired hyperpolarized 13C data. The method is used to compare simple signal normalization versus apparent rate constant estimation for dynamically-acquired, slice-selective FID spectra and IDEAL spiral CS imaging animal rat experiments.
