title: Hyperpolarized molecules in solution.
abstract: Hyperpolarization is a technique to enhance the nuclear polarization and thereby increase the available signal in magnetic resonance (MR). This chapter provides an introduction to the concept of hyperpolarization as well as an overview of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and para-hydrogen induced polarization (PHIP), two methods used to generate hyperpolarized molecules in aqueous solution.
