INTRODUCTION: The vast majority of emerging hyperpolarized MRI contrast agents employ heteronuclei (e.g. 13C or 129Xe) for transient storage of hyperpolarization and detection due to much longer lifetimes of the HP state and the lack of background signal. However, clinical MRI scanners are often poorly suited for excitation and detection of heteronuclei as they typically lack the corresponding...

Nuclear spin hyperpolarization (HP) enhances the NMR signal by several orders of magnitude by bringing the spins out of thermal equilibrium, populating one of the spin states in favor of the other.
