Carbon‐13 NMR imaging has been combined with 1 H‐ 13 C polarization transfer to improve image quality. Natural‐abundance carbon images of Fischer rat bodies were obtained within a few minutes. Next 13 C‐labeled glucose was administered orally to rats, and spatial distributions of glucose and its derivatives were observed with this technique. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
