AB A first-in-humans trial of imaging tumor metabolism using hyperpolarized MRI shows that the technique is safe and can highlight differences in how normal and cancerous prostate tissues metabolize sugars. If confirmed in further studies, the approach may provide a noninvasive way to analyze the aggressiveness of prostate tumors and monitor response to therapy.
