| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop a novel method for detecting biological information using hyperpolarized xenon magnetic resonance imaging (HPXe MRI), the present study focuses on the development of several elemental technologies for high-sensitive HP Xe MRI. Firstly, a compact Xe hyperpolarizing system was developed. To develop a Xe probe that has a function of detecting biological information, MR signals of HPXe in adsorbent solution were measured. Furthermore, the utility of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) technique was theoretically and experimentally validated for further application of high-sensitive MRI detection of the Xe probe.
