| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied on several techniques related to a CEST MRI in order to develop a high-sensitive MRI method for molecular imaging. We have demonstrated that a neurotransmitter dopamine becomes a novel target for CEST MRI. Furthermore, we proposed a novel methodology for accelerating CEST MRI and demonstrated its utility. Finally, we studied on the improvement of hyperpolarized 129Xe gas production method for use in HyperCEST MRI.
