What are the Challenges Associated with Hyperpolarization?
Despite its advantages, hyperpolarization techniques face several challenges: - Complexity: The equipment and procedures required for hyperpolarization are complex and often expensive. - Short Lifetimes: The hyperpolarized state is not stable and decays over time, limiting the time window for observations. - Specificity: Not all nuclei can be easily hyperpolarized, and the effectiveness of the technique can vary depending on the catalytic system in question.
