Production of hyperpolarized nuclei for MRI

The project in producing the hyperpolarized 3 He and 19 F are addressed in pursuit of radiation free medical diagnosis. The program for production of the hyperpolarized 3 He by the brute force method with the Pomeranchuk cooling and the rapid melting of the solid 3He started a few years ago, and is...

Zusammenfassung:The project in producing the hyperpolarized 3 He and 19 F are addressed in pursuit of radiation free medical diagnosis. The program for production of the hyperpolarized 3 He by the brute force method with the Pomeranchuk cooling and the rapid melting of the solid 3He started a few years ago, and is still on the way, while a new program for production of the hyperpolarized 19 F by means of the PHIP (ParaHydrogen Induced Polarization) has just got started. Particular attention is placed upon a new idea of the hyperpolarization catalyst to be used for 19 F.
