First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests a special MRI imaging agent called [13C]pyruvate in 50 healthy volunteers. The goal is to see how this substance moves through and is used by healthy organs. Researchers hope to improve MRI image quality and understand normal metabolism, which could help detect diseases in the future.
