Main Focus
Ultra lowfield magnetic resonance imaging for the development of Hyperpolarized contrast agents
Newly developed Hyperpolarization techniques for MRI and NMR are working best at field strengths in the mT range. To investigate these newly developed techniques a NMR/MRI system operating at a static magnetic field in the mT range has to be developed.
The aims of this project are:
- Development and construction of a low noise NMR/MRI setup using a SQUID sensor
- Optimizing the dc SQUID sensor to increase the signal to noise ratio by a factor of 2 5 in comparison to a commercially available SQUID.
- Optimizing hyperpolarized contrast agents to make them suitable for first in vivo tests
