Summary

This study involves 50 healthy volunteers aged 18-80 to learn how a substance called [13C]pyruvate behaves in the body during an MRI scan. The goal is to improve image quality and understand how different organs use energy normally. Participants will receive the substance through an IV, and some will get a slower infusion to see if it gives clearer brain images.
