By permitting direct visualization of the airspaces of the lung, magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) using hyperpolarized gases provides unique strategies for evaluating pulmonary …

Recent developments in NMR hyperpolarization have enabled a wide array of new in vivo
molecular imaging modalities, ranging from functional imaging of the lungs to metabolic …

We present a comprehensive theory of nuclear spin polarization of 3 He and 129 Xe gases
by spin-exchange collisions with optically pumped alkali-metal vapors. The most important …

Mobile, single-sided NMR has its origin in inside-out NMR, where NMR spectrometers are
lowered into bore holes for analysis of fluids in the surrounding rock matrix. Similar …

The sensitivity of conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques is
fundamentally limited by the ordinarily low spin polarization achievable in even the strongest …

The exquisite NMR spectral sensitivity and negligible reactivity of hyperpolarized xenon-129
(HP129Xe) make it attractive for a number of magnetic resonance applications; moreover …

This article reviews the physics and technology of producing large quantities of highly spin-
polarized He 3 nuclei using spin-exchange (SEOP) and metastability-exchange (MEOP) …

Using a new method of xenon laser‐polarization that permits the generation of liter
quantities of hyperpolarized 129Xe gas, the first 129Xe imaging results from the human …

We demonstrate detection of NMR signals using a noncryogenic atomic magnetometer and
describe several novel applications of this technique. A nuclear spin-precession signal from …
