Dynamic nuclear polarisation as a probe of metabolism in pathophysiology

Abstract:

Spin-half nuclei in a magnetic field possessing a population difference in excess of that expected at thermal equilibrium are said to be hyperpolarised. Dynamic Nuclear Polarisation (DNP) is a method to generate hyperpolarised systems, pumping nuclear spins into a given state at low temperature. Hyperpolarised samples can be rapidly dissolved in a hot solvent, and maintain a highly polarised spin population that relaxes to the new thermal equilibrium over several minutes. It is possible to...
