“…Dataset1 (of 30 • C at its worst) that is likely explained by a difference between the true gas temperature within the OP cell and that measured experimentally using a thermocouple at the cell exterior. The reality is that within the cell a range of temperatures exist -extreme temperatures under some conditions, [58] driving convective or turbulent flow patterns that have been observed with Ra- the assumption of 100% polarised light; under these conditions, we are closer and 6 as an example, it can be seen that as T cell is increased, P Xe initially grows 350 until P max is reached, as given by eqn 18. P Rb here is given by eqn 10.…”

Hyperpolarization is a technique that can increase nuclear spin polarization with the corresponding gains in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals by 4–8 orders of magnitude. When this process is applied to biologically relevant samples, the hyperpolarized molecules can be used as exogenous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. A technique called spin‐exchange optical pumping (SEOP) can be applied to hyperpolarize noble gases such as 129Xe. Techniques based on hyperpolarized 129Xe are poised to revolutionize clinical lung imaging, offering a non‐ionizing, high‐contrast alternative to computed tomography (CT) imaging and conventional proton MRI. Moreover, CT and conventional proton MRI report on lung tissue structure but provide little functional information. On the other hand, when a subject breathes hyperpolarized 129Xe gas, functional lung images reporting on lung ventilation, perfusion and diffusion with 3D readout can be obtained in seconds. In this Review, the physics of SEOP is discussed and the different production modalities are explained in the context of their clinical application. We also briefly compare SEOP to other hyperpolarization methods and conclude this paper with the outlook for biomedical applications of hyperpolarized 129Xe to lung imaging and beyond.

Prof. Eduard Y. Chekmenev received his PhD in Physical Chemistry (supervisor Prof. Richard J. Wittebort) in 2003 at the University of Louisville, KY (USA). He conducted postdoctoral research at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, FL (with Prof. Timothy Cross), Caltech (Prof. Daniel P. Weitekamp) and HMRI in Pasadena, CA (USA) (with Dr.B rian D. Ross). In 2009, Dr.C hekmenev started his hyperpolarization program at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN) and he was tenured in 2015. In 2018, he moved to Wayne State University (Detroit, MI) to continue his research on MR hyperpolarization.Figure 1. Thermal equilibrium polarizationp roduces asmall excess of spins in one state. When the sample undergoes hyperpolarization, alarge excess of spins exists in one state producingaconsiderably stronger signal since more spins contribute.
