This study demonstrates the first application of 31P Dynamic Nuclear Polarization to the Phosphonates. The experimental conditions (glassing agents, radicals microwave irradiation frequencies, maximum polarization build-up time, etc.) were optimized for the hyperpolarization of Dimethyl Methyl Phosphonate. An in-vivo experiment was then carried out at these optimum conditions and the hyperpolarized 31P image and signal were observed in the animal.
