Description
MRI is a versatile and widely used imaging technique, which is based on the principles of NMR. However, both techniques suffer from an inherent insensitivity due to very small levels of polarization. By combining hyperpolarization techniques with detection of the NMR signal through the asymmetry of radioactive beta or gamma decay an increase in NMR sensitivity by almost 10 orders of magnitude is achievable. This increase in sensitivity will drastically decrease NMR and MRI measurement times. First studies on 26Na in liquid samples were performed, with the aim to study Na interaction with biological samples. In addition MRI experiments using radioactive Xe isotopes (131m, 133m) are planned. These can be used in lung and brain imagining.
