Low detection sensitivity stemming from the weak polarization of nuclear spins is a primary limitation of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. Methods have been developed to enhance nuclear spin polarization but they typically require high magnetic fields, cryogenic temperatures or sample transfer between magnets. Here we report bulk, room-temperature hyperpolarization of (13)C nuclear ...

basic physical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (n.m.r.i), a nonionizing medical imaging technique, are described. principles of nmri with other conventional imaging methods, ie, isotope scanning, ultrasonography and radiography have been compared. t1 and t2 and spin density (s.d.) factors and different image construction techniques based on their different combinations is discu...

background : magnetic resonance imaging of the breast is becoming a useful adjunct to mammography and sonography for the detection of breast lesions. however, it is not yet accepted as a routine examination for all breast cancer patients due to the lack of data regarding whether breast magnetic resonance imaging impacts recurrence or survival. this trial examines the use of magnetic resonance i...

For the past decade, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been established as a main experimental technique for testing quantum protocols in small systems. This Theme Issue presents recent advances and major challenges of NMR quantum information possessing (QIP), including contributions by researchers from 10 different countries. In this introduction, after a short comment on NMR-QIP basics, we...

Experimental realization of quantum information processing in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been well established. Implementation of conditional phase-shift gate has been a significant step, which has lead to realization of important algorithms such as Grover's search algorithm and quantum Fourier transform. This gate has so far been implemented in NMR by using coupling evol...

We present nuclear spin-rotation constants, absolute nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding constants, and shielding spans of all the nuclei in (175)LuX and (197)AuX (X = (19)F, (35)Cl, (79)Br, (127)I), calculated using coupled-cluster singles-and-doubles with a perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) correction theory, four-component relativistic density functional theory (relativistic DFT), and no...
