Production of hyperpolarised 129Xe for NMR spectroscopy and imaging

Hyperpolarised 3He has been used extensively in the neutron community and for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs. 129Xe has many desirable advantages compared to 3He for NMR, namely its chemical sensitivity, solubility, adsorption capability and atmospheric abundance. In this work we pres...
