Popis: Detection of bare gas microbubbles by magnetic resonance (MR) at low concentrations typically used in clinical contrast-ultrasound studies was recently demonstrated using hyperCEST. Despite the enhanced sensitivity achieved with hyperCEST, in vivo translation is challenging as on-resonance saturation of the gas-phase core of microbubbles consequently results in saturation of the gas-phase hyperpolarized
