Benchtop NMR spectrometers, with moderate magnetic field strengths (B=1-2.4T) and sub-ppm chemical shift resolution, are an affordable and portable alternative to standard laboratory NMR (B≥7T). However, in moving to lower magnetic field instruments, sensitivity and chemical shift resolution are significantly reduced. The sensitivity limitation can be overcome by using hyperpolarisation to boost benchtop NMR signals by orders of magnitude. Of the wide range of hyperpolarisation methods currently available, dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP), parahydrogen-induced polarisation (PHIP) and photochemically-induced dynamic nuclear polarisation (photo-CIDNP) have, to date, shown the most promise for integration with benchtop NMR for analytical applications. In this review we provide a summary of the theory of each of these techniques and discuss examples of how they have been integrated with benchtop NMR detection. Progress towards the use of hyperpolarised benchtop NMR for analytical applications, ranging from reaction monitoring to probing biomolecular interactions, is discussed, along with perspectives for the future.

The introduction of benchtop NMR instruments has made NMR spectroscopy a more accessible, affordable option for research and industry, but the lower spectral resolution and SNR of a signal acquired on low magnetic field spectrometers may complicate the quantitative analysis of spectra. In this work, we compare the performance of multiple neural network architectures in the task of converting simulated 100 MHz NMR spectra to 400 MHz with the goal of improving the quality of the low-field spectra for analyte quantification. Multi-layered perceptron networks are also used to directly quantify metabolites in simulated 100 and 400 MHz spectra for comparison.

Article Synopsis
- * The T2-weighted fast spin echo (T2W-FSE) MRI technique is commonly used to visualize HIFU-induced thermal lesions but suffers from issues like ringing artifacts and reduced spatial resolution due to T2 decay effects.
- * By applying an inverse Fourier transform (IFT) multiplication scheme with specially designed filters, researchers improved MRI image quality, resulting in significantly better spatial resolutions and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio in detecting thermal lesions.

Purpose: Imaging phantoms with known anisotropic mechanical properties are needed to evaluate magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) methods to estimate anisotropic parameters. The aims of this study were to fabricate mechanically anisotropic MRE phantoms, characterize their mechanical behavior by direct testing, then assess the accuracy of MRE estimates of anisotropic properties using a transversely isotropic nonlinear inversion (TI-NLI) algorithm.
Methods: Directionally scaled and unscaled lattices were designed to exhibit anisotropic or isotropic mechanical properties.
