Abstract
This paper presents some stages of the preparation of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, originally designed to operate on protons, for research conducted on hyperpolarized xenon-129 nuclei. Computer applications have been developed for interacting with the equipment of the MRI system and creating pulse programs. A device has been created to produce hyperpolarized 129Xe. The technology of tracheostomy of laboratory animals has been developed to ensure their respiration when obtaining magnetic resonance images of the lungs. Experiments were conducted on the upgraded MRI system, and one of the images obtained from examining the lungs of a laboratory animal is demonstrated.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics is an international peer reviewed journal published with the participation of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It presents full-text articles (regular, letters to the editor, reviews) with the most recent results in miscellaneous fields of physics and astronomy: nuclear physics, cosmic rays, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, optics and photonics, nanotechnologies, solar and astrophysics, physical applications in material sciences, life sciences, etc. Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics focuses on the most relevant multidisciplinary topics in natural sciences, both fundamental and applied. Manuscripts can be submitted in Russian and English languages and are subject to peer review. Accepted articles are usually combined in thematic issues on certain topics according to the journal editorial policy. Authors featured in the journal represent renowned scientific laboratories and institutes from different countries, including large international collaborations. There are globally recognized researchers among the authors: Nobel laureates and recipients of other awards, and members of national academies of sciences and international scientific societies.
