Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the hyperpolarized noble gas NMR signal intensity detected in the experiment is often not as high as the signal intensity when it was generated
The main reasons include: 1) affected by the cleanliness of the collection device, pipeline, etc., material types, and paramagnetic substances, the polarization degree of some hyperpolarized inert gases will be lost; Due to the space limitation in the noble gas pipeline, the arriving hyperpolarized noble gas signal itself has a low density; 3) Although the optically pumped spin-exchange working gas used in the experiment is a high-pressure mixed gas, such as 5atm 8 , but usually the composition of the gas mixture mainly includes the pressure-expansion gas 4 He, fluorescence quenching gas N 2 , while the inert gas content is only 1 to 3%, that is, the amount of hyperpolarized inert gas produced is limited

Embodiment 2

[0033] Hyperpolarized noble gases are 129 Xe,

[0034] After the experiment started, at first the first valve 2, the second valve 7, and the third valve 8 were all kept open, and the vacuum pump 4 was started to suck all the air in the pipeline of the whole system to keep the vacuum degree lower than 4psi. If the air is drawn outside the system, the system will be in and maintain a negative pressure state. At this time, the piston of the compression pump 6 will be in its own state close to the three-way 12. When the system is in a vacuum state, close the third valve 8 to isolate the pipeline system from the vacuum system. Since the semi-permeable membrane 1 is a one-way chemical membrane, it can only allow 129 Xe gas molecules permeate, and when there is a pressure difference between the two ends of the semi-permeable membrane 1, when the dissolved hyperpolarized 129 Hyperpolarization in a solution of Xe 129 The Xe gas will pass through the semi-permeable membrane 1 and ent...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and more specifically relates to a magnetic resonance engine device and a magnetic resonance engine method, which are suitable for hyperpolarized inert gas nuclear magnetic resonance. Background technique [0002] So far, commercial nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers have been very mature, typically products from companies such as Bruker in Germany and Agilent in the United States. The NMR spectrometer first applies an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency to the sample in a strong magnetic field through a coil. After the sample absorbs the electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency and undergoes a relaxation process, it will radiate an electromagnetic wave of a certain frequency. The coil and electronic circuit can convert and process the electromagnetic wave radiated by the sample to obtain the final magnetic resonance signal. [0003] In recent years, the ...
