Abstract

Because xenon NMR is highly sensitive to the local environment, laser- polarized xenon could be a unique probe of living tissues. Realization of clinical and medical science application beyond lung airspace imaging requires methods of efficient delivery of laser-polarized xenon to tissues, because of the short spin-lattice relaxation times and relatively low concentrations of xenon attainable in the body. Preliminary results from the application of a polarized xenon injection technique for in vivo, ¹²⁹Xe NMR/MRI are extrapolated along with a simple model of xenon transit to show that the peak local concentration of polarized xenon delivered to tissues by injection may exceed that delivered by respiration by severalfold.
