This study aimed to develop and demonstrate the in vivo feasibility of a 3D stack‐of‐spiral balanced steady‐state free precession(3D‐bSSFP) urea sequence, interleaved with a metabolite‐specific gradient echo (GRE) sequence for pyruvate and metabolic products, for improving the SNR and spatial resolution of the first hyperpolarized 13C‐MRI human study with injection of co‐hyperpolarized [1‐13C]pyruvate and [13C,15N2]urea.
