Optimisation of xenon-rich stopped-flow spin-exchange optical pumping for functional lung imaging
Spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) is a hyperpolarisation method used in the hyperpolarisation of noble gases and can enhance nuclear spin polarisation by five orders of magnitude. Hyperpolarised (HP) 129-Xe has many properties that make it ideally suited to clinical lung imaging, but since its fi...
