    Abstract: In a method for preparing a hyperpolarised sample, for example for carrying out a magnetic resonance technique, the sample is formed as a frozen layer (4) of a starting solution on a surface of a thermoconductive sample holder (1,2). The solution comprises molecules for hyperpolarisation, and photo-reactive molecules. Free radicals are induced in the frozen layer by exposing it to radiation. The sample is then hyperpolarised by dynamic nuclear polarization at a dynamic nuclear polarization temperature. After hyperpolarisation, the temperature of the sample is raised to a thermalisation or quenching temperature by thermal conduction of heat through the sample holder, to quench the free radicals. The polarised sample may then be stored for use, retaining its polarisation.

    Abstract: A method for generating 2π-refocusing pulses for magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and for performing spectral editing of MRS data using differential custom bandpass editing. Acquisition may be performed using echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI), for example. The 2π-refocusing is achieved using chemical-shift-selective adiabatic 2π-refocusing pulses, without spatial-selective (e.g. slice-selective) refocusing. The spectral editing method uses two data sets with different bandpass ('full' and 'partial') editing spectra, and takes the difference of the two edited spectra. The approach lends itself to 3D spectroscopy at B0 of 7 T or higher, and permits whole brain J-coupled metabolite editing (e.g. 2HG or GABA), with greatly reduced specific absorption rate, shorter repetition time, minimal chemical-shift displacement artefacts (CDSAs), robustness to B0-inhomogeneity and indifference to B1+-inhomogeneity compared with existing spatial-selective methods, such as MEGA.
