Hyperpolarized carbon-13 magnetic resonance imaging is a promising technique for in vivo metabolic interrogation of alterations between health and disease. This study introduces a formalism for quantifying the metabolic information in hyperpolarized imaging. This study investigated a novel perfusion formalism and metabolic clearance rate (MCR) model in pre-clinical stroke and in the healthy human brain. Simulations showed that the proposed model was robust to perturbations in T1, transmit B1, and kPL. A significant difference in ipsilateral vs contralateral pyruvate derived cerebral blood flow (CBF) was detected in rats (140 ± 2 vs 89 ± 6 mL/100 g/min, p
