Hyperpolarized [1‐13C]pyruvate MRI is an emerging clinical tool for metabolic imaging. It has the potential for absolute quantitative metabolic imaging. However, the method itself is not quantitative, limiting comparison of images across both time and between individuals. Here, we propose a simple signal normalization to the whole‐body oxidative metabolism to overcome this limitation.
