Hyperpolarized xenon NMR and MRI signal amplification by gas extraction.
A method is reported for enhancing the sensitivity of NMR of dissolved xenon by detecting the signal after extraction to the gas phase. We demonstrate hyperpolarized xenon signal amplification by gas extraction (Hyper-SAGE) in both NMR spectra and magnetic resonance images with time-of-flight information. Hyper-SAGE takes advantage of a change in physical phase to increase the density of polari...
متن کاملHyperpolarized xenon for NMR and MRI applications.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and imaging (MRI) suffer from intrinsic low sensitivity because even strong external magnetic fields of ~10 T generate only a small detectable net-magnetization of the sample at room temperature (1). Hence, most NMR and MRI applications rely on the detection of molecules at relative high concentration (e.g., water for imaging of biological tissue) o...
متن کاملAmplification of xenon NMR and MRI by remote detection.
A technique is proposed in which an NMR spectrum or MRI is encoded and stored as spin polarization and is then moved to a different physical location to be detected. Remote detection allows the separate optimization of the encoding and detection steps, permitting the independent choice of experimental conditions and excitation and detection methodologies. In the initial experimental demonstrati...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Xenon Brain MRI
Since hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI was first demonstrated in the lung, air space imaging using hyperpolarized noble gases (129Xe and 3He) has progressed at a rapid rate (Goodson, 2002; Zhou, 2011c). Owing to high lipid solubility, absence of background signal in biological tissue, non-invasiveness, lack of radioactivity, different relaxation to oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, and larger chemical...
متن کاملMolecular Sensing Using Hyperpolarized Xenon NMR Spectroscopy
Although proton-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a powerful modality for clinical imaging with excellent spatial resolution, it is not well suited to imaging void spaces (i.e., the lungs), low-abundance molecular markers of disease, or environments where unique proton spin densities are low. To address this limitation, hyperpolarized (hp) xenon-based NMR spectroscopy and MRI have...
