In this study, we investigate and demonstrate optimization-based algorithms for accurate reconstruction of 4DSS images from sparse-view data. Numerical studies using simulated and real sparse-view data acquired in CW EPRI are conducted that reveal, in terms of image visualization and physical-parameter estimation, the potential of the algorithms developed for yielding accurate 4DSS images from sparse-view data in CW EPRI.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imaging has proven to be the most advanced oxygen imaging modality. However, the main drawback of EPR imaging is the long scan time. For each projection, we usually need to collect the projection many times and then average them to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). One approach to fast scan is to reduce the repeating time for each projection. While the projections would be noisy and thus the traditional commonly-use filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm would not be capable of accurately reconstructing images. Optimization-based iterative algorithms may accurately reconstruct images from noisy projections for they may incorporate prior information into optimization models. Based on the total variation (TV) algorithms for EPR imaging, in this work, we propose a directional TV (DTV) algorithm to further improve the reconstruction accuracy. We construct the DTV constrained, data divergence minimization (DTVcDM) model, derive its Chambolle–Pock (CP) solving algorithm, validate the correctness of the whole algorithm, and perform evaluations via simulated and real data. The experimental results show that the DTV algorithm outperforms the existing TV and FBP algorithms in fast EPR imaging.

As many biological and environmental samples are heterogeneous, they experience considerable spectral overlap and relatively low signal.

Unlike traditional approaches that focus on the <sup>12</sup>C/<sup>13</sup>C satellite ratios in a <sup>1</sup>H spectrum, this approach creates separate sub-spectra for the <sup>12</sup>C and <sup>13</sup>C bound protons. These spectra can be used for both quantitative and qualitative analysis of complex samples with significant spectral overlap. Due to the presence of the <sup>13</sup>C dipole, faster relaxation of the <sup>1</sup>H–<sup>13</sup>C pairs results in slight underestimation compared to the <sup>1</sup>H–<sup>12</sup>C pairs.

However, the dissolved parahydrogen in PHIP experiments quickly loses its spin order, resulting in the formation of orthohydrogen and reduction of the overall nuclear polarization of the substrate. This process is due to the difference of chemical shifts of hydride protons, as well as spin–spin couplings between nuclei, in the intermediate catalytic complexes, and it has not been rigorously explained so far. We proposed a new experimental technique based on magnetic field cycling for measuring the rate of molecular hydrogen para–ortho conversion in solution and applied it for non-hydrogenative PHIP Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) experiments. The para–ortho conversion rate was measured over a wide range of magnetic field from 0.5 mT to 9.4 T. It was found that the conversion rate strongly depends on the magnetic field in which the reaction occurs, as well as on the concentrations of reactants. The rate decreases with increasing the concentration of pyridine ligand and increases with increasing the concentration of iridium catalyst. The model, which takes into account the reversible exchange of molecular hydrogen with the catalyst, nuclear spin–spin interaction of hydride protons with nuclei of ligands within catalytic complex and nuclear Zeeman interactions, qualitatively describes the experimental data. Two types of complexes with different spin system symmetry contribute to the molecular hydrogen conversion. In asymmetric complexes possessing hydride protons with different chemical shifts due to the presence of chlorine anion ligand the para–ortho conversion rate increases with magnetic field, while for symmetric complexes this mechanism is not operable. In the magnetic field where level anti-crossing occurs the resonant feature for the rate of para–ortho conversion is found. The results of this work can be utilized for finding the optimal conditions for obtaining the maximum hyperpolarization in the experiments employing parahydrogen.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16267,"journal":{"name":"Journal of magnetic resonance","volume":"360 ","pages":"Article 107630"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139744305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
