Hyperpolarization of Nuclear Spins and Biomedical Applications

Lecture by Professor of Russian Academy of Sciences, assistant professor of Vanderbilt University (USA) Eduard Yurevich Chekmenev devoted to hyperpolarization of the nuclear spins - this phenomenon allows for increase MRI sensitivity by million folds. Molecular MRI makes it possible to visualize many metabolic processes and probe organ function as hyperpolarized elements and compounds can be visualized and imaged inside living organisms at millimolar concentrations...
