METHOD OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE EXAMINATION Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: magnetic resonance visualization of image. SUBSTANCE: method of magnetic resonance examination of specimen, preferably organism of man or animal, includes preparation of hyperpolarized solution of agent with high T₁ by solution of hyperpolarized solid specimen of mentioned agent with high T₁ in physiologically allowable solvent. Operations of hyperpolarization of solid specimen of mentioned agent with high T₁ by means of polarizing agent include: a) separation of all, practically all or portion of mentioned polarizing agent with high T₁; b) injection of mentioned hyperpolarized solution into mentioned specimen; c) irradiation of mentioned specimen by second radiator with frequency chosen for excitation of nuclear spin transitions in selected nuclei, for example, in nuclei of magnetic resonance agent with high T₁; d) recording of magnetic resonance signals from mentioned specimen and e) winning of image, dynamic data flow, diffusion parameters, perfusion parameters, physiological parameters ( for instance, pH, pO₂, pCO₂, temperature or ion concentration ) or metabolic parameters from mentioned recorded signals. Mentioned agent with high T₁ in mentioned hyperpolarized solution has value T₁ ( with field intensity in range 0.01- 5.0 Tm and temperature between 40-and 60 C ) for at least 5.0 s. Formula of invention gives description of composition and contrast medium which are utilized as agent with high time of longitudinal relaxation T₁. EFFECT: raised quality of visualization of image. 34 cl, 5 dwg
