Synopsis

Keywords: Contrast mechanisms: Non-proton, Contrast mechanisms: Spectroscopy, Contrast mechanisms: Hyperpolarized MR (Non-Gas)

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detects the nuclear spin behavior of observable nuclides as spectra or images using radio frequency (RF) pulses. The H nucleus, which is a component in water molecules that make up 65-70% of the human body, is the main nuclide responsible for MR image acquisition. On the other hand, there are some X-nuclei, which can also be observed via NMR and possess distinctive characteristics unlike H. In this presentation, representative X-nuclei and the biomolecules containing the nuclei will be introduced, associating with the relationship with commonly used MRI elemental techniques.
