Patent Pending Hyperpolarization is the nuclear spin polarization of a material far beyond thermal equilibrium conditions.[1] It is commonly applied to gases such as 129Xe and 3He, where the polarization levels can be enhanced by a factor of 104-105 above thermal equilibrium levels. Hyperpolarized noble gases are typically used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs.
