Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 Magnetic Resonance

Providing the first comprehensive book on the current state of hyperpolarized Xenon-129 NMR and MRI, this book is guaranteed to appeal to a wide range of scientists interested in this growing field. It is also intended to create synergy between the various (sub)-communities working with this noble gas.

Covering all topics from the production of the hyperpolarized gas, to its applications, the scope will range from the fundamental aspects of optical pumping to practical aspects of hyperpolarizers and hp-xenon handling. The applications section will include material science applications, biological and medical applications and specific techniques needed for these usages.
