Hyperpolarized Silicon Particles as In-vivo Imaging Agents

Hyperpolarized Silicon Particles as In-vivo Imaging Agents

This thesis describes the development of hyperpolarized silicon particles as a new type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent. Silicon particles are inexpensive, non-toxic, biodegradable, targetable, and have unique physical properties that lead to extremely long nuclear polarization times. The...
