Synopsis
We synthesized 1-15N nicotinamide (NA) and built a saddle-shaped mouse body linear coil for 15N imaging. We found a way to polarize 1-15N-NA by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization to 9.1±4.4% and measured the effect of the radical load. The lifetime of hyperpolarized NA was field-dependent: 100 s at 1 T, 60 s at 7 T, and 30 s at 9.4 T. An effect of the pH on liquid-state polarization was found. N FLASH MRI of hyperpolarized NA was acquired in less than 1 s.
