Strongly enhanced spin polarization in the form of longitudinal spin order can be generated on target molecules by using parahydrogen in a catalyzed hydrogenation reaction. An optimal control algorithm was used to generate radiofrequency pulse sequences which convert the arising longitudinal two-spin order into single-spin Zeeman order with high efficiency and distribute it evenly between three coupled spins within the same molecule. The pulses are designed to be very robust towards variations in the B(0) and B(1) fields. Furthermore, this strategy is applied to enhance the NMR signal in an ultrafast gradient assisted single excitation two-dimensional spectroscopy experiment.

Multidimensional manipulation of photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) has attracted considerable interest due to its potential in a wide variety of spin-based applications. Plenty of research efforts have been devoted to transverse or longitudinal spin-dependent splitting; however, the splitting pattern that can self-rotate in a three-dimensional (3-D) space appears to be missing in literature. In this paper, we introduce a novel 3-D rotational PSHE, which can be realized and tuned using well-designed Pancharatnam-Berry phase metasurfaces.

In quantum mechanics, spin is a physical property that dominates the topological behaviors. While manifesting the spin states they reveal complex interaction of physical parameters in a topological media. The guided waves' inherent spin states are made of real physical spin angular momentum from the superposition of elastic waves.

Rapid MR imaging of slowly relaxing samples is often challenging. The most commonly used solutions are found in multi spin-echo (RARE) sequences or gradient-echo (GE) sequences, which allow faster imaging of such samples with multiple acquisitions of k-space lines per excitation or imaging with very short repetition times (TRs). Another solution is the use of a spin-echo (SE) sequence superimposed with a driven equilibrium Fourier transform (DEFT) method.

Background And Objective: The standard non-invasive imaging technique used to assess the severity and extent of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA). However, manual grading of each patient's CCTA according to the CAD-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) scoring is time-consuming and operator-dependent, especially in borderline cases. This work proposes a fully automated, and visually explainable, deep learning pipeline to be used as a decision support system for the CAD screening procedure.

Since the inception of magnetization transfer (MT) imaging, it has been widely assumed that Henkelman's two spin pools have similar longitudinal relaxation times, which motivated many researchers to constrain them to each other. However, several recent publications reported a of the that is much shorter than of the . While these studies tailored experiments for robust proofs-of-concept, we here aim to quantify the disentangled relaxation processes on a voxel-by-voxel basis in a clinical imaging setting, i.
