Description
Magnetic resonance imaging using contrast agents is now an indispensable part of medical imaging. When these contrast agents, such as 3He gas, 13C in pyruvic acid or fluorine-labeled glucose (FDG), are used in the body, the sensitivity can be increased by 10,000 times or even more if the nuclei are dynamically polarized.
The results of the first dynamic polarization experiments of fluorine and hydrogen in a glucose solution doped with TEMPO are presented.
