Greg Stanisz emphasizes the importance of metabolic imaging for identifying tissue state, monitoring and predicting treatment response. He then discusses his spectroscopic work on the effect of gut microbiome on brain metabolism on a mouse diet induced anxiety model. He also investigates metabolism of cancer models via CEST. He uses this to predict tumor treatment success only one week after treatment. He concludes his talk with concise comparison of spectroscopy, CEST, and hyperpolarization.
