<unk>  <unk>  is a noninvasive<unk>  method that provides<unk>  information in addition to the image that is generated by MRI alone. Whereas traditional magnetic resonance<unk>  (MRI) generates a black-and-white image in which brightness is determined primarily by the T1 or T2 relaxation times of the tissue being imaged, the<unk>  information obtained in an<unk>  study can be used to infer further information about cellular activity (metabolic information). For example, in the context of oncology, an MRI scan may reveal the shape and size of a tumor, while an<unk>  study provides additional information about the metabolic activity occurring in the tumor.<unk>  can be performed on a standard MRI scanner, and the patient experience is the same for<unk>  as for MRI.<unk>  has broad applications in medicine, including oncology and general physiological studies. When hydrogen is the target element,<unk>  is also called 1H-nuclear<unk>  and proton<unk> .<unk>  can also be performed with phosphorus, or hyperpolarized carbon-13.
