Research Interests:
Dr. Spielman’s research is in the field of MRI, spectroscopy (MRS), and PET, with a focus on the development of new methods of imaging in vivo metabolism. Current projects include 13C MRS of hyperpolarized substrates for the assessment of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in cancer, 1H MRS measurements brain oxidative stress and neurotransmission, and combined PET/MRS studies. He has focused on a novel array of both acquisition and analysis techniques for use in preclinical and clinical studies.
