Pressure Dependent Signal Enhancement in Hyper-CEST

Introduction The so called hyper-CEST method promises tremendous potential on molecule-specific MR imaging using hyperpolarized Xe caged in functionalized cryptophane cages [1]. It was shown that these biosensors can be utilized as highly sensitive temperature probes [2] and that molecule-specific signals in the lower nM regime can be detected when experimental parameters are optimized to yield...
