摘要: NMR images of laser polarized 3He gas were obtained at 21 G using a simple, homebuilt instrument. At such low fields magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thermally samples (e.g., water) is not practical. Low-field noble MRI has novel scientific, engineering, and medical applications. Examples include portable systems for diagnosis lung disease, as well voids in porous media within metallic systems.
