Dynamic Nuclear Polarization – from Polarized Targets to Metabolic Imaging

Applied Magnetic Resonance Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract.

Until recently the main application of dynamic nuclear polarization techniques has been in nuclear and particle physics, where they are used to polarize nuclei in bulk matter to be employed as polarized solid targets for particle beams probing the spin dependence of nuclear interactions. These techniques have now become most promising for applications in biomedical magnetic resonance and the knowledge gained in forty years of target development becomes of immediate interest.
