A 3He NMR resonance of C606- containing He is assigned to He2@C606-, thus showing that C60 can also accommodate two helium atoms. The ratio of the di-helium compound relative to the mono- is 1:200, 10 times lower than the equivalent counterpart of C70. The 3He NMR chemical shift of He2@C606- is 0.093 ppm downfield from the already known resonance of He@C606-. In the reduced endohedral mono- and di-helium C70, the 3He NMR chemical shift of He2@C706- is 0.154 ppm upfield from the peak of He@C706-.

Optical pumping on the 23S-23P transition (1083 nm) of metastable 3He or 4He atoms is used for science and applications. Gas is usually enclosed in elongated cells with lengths ranging from several centimeters to several meters for efficient absorption. Good magnetic-field homogeneity is needed for weak diffusion-induced relaxation and long nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal lifetimes.

Rationale And Objectives: Ex-smokers without spirometry or CT evidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but with mildly abnormal diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DL) are at higher risk of developing COPD. It remains difficult to make clinical management decisions for such ex-smokers without other objective assessments consistent with COPD. Hence, our objective was to develop a machine-learning and CT texture-analysis pipeline to dichotomize ex-smokers with normal and abnormal DL (DL≥75% and DL<75%).

In light of the growing interest deuterium metabolic imaging, hyperpolarized C, N, He, and Xe imaging, as well as P spectroscopy and imaging in large animals on clinical MR scanners, we demonstrate the use of a (radio)frequency converter system to allow X-nuclear MR spectroscopy (MRS) and MR imaging (MRI) on standard clinical MRI scanners without multinuclear capability. This is not only an economical alternative to the multinuclear system (MNS) provided by the scanner vendors, but also overcomes the frequency bandwidth problem of some vendor-provided MNSs that prohibit users from applications with X-nuclei of low magnetogyric ratio, such as deuterium (6.536 MHz/Tesla) and N (-4.

Pulmonary imaging measurements using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) have the potential to deepen our understanding of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by measuring airway and parenchymal pathologic information that cannot be provided by spirometry. Currently, MRI and CT measurements are not included in mortality risk predictions, diagnosis, or COPD staging. We evaluated baseline pulmonary function, MRI and CT measurements alongside imaging texture-features to predict 10-year all-cause mortality in ex-smokers with ( = 93; 31 females; 70 ± 9years) and without ( = 69; 29 females, 69 ± 9years) COPD.
