Despite unique biomedical applications from ventilation
to perfusion and molecular imaging, hyperpolarized (HP)
129Xe MRI suffers from the somehow limited availability
of HP 129Xe. Sublimation-DNP consists in producing HP
129Xe using a generic dissolution-DNP polarizer able to
produce various HP tracers. It can contribute to a wider
access to HP 129Xe and spread of its unique
applications. A limited polarization level was
precluding the potentially higher HP gas output. In the
present work we show how the combination of an optimal
glass-forming solvent with photo-induced radicals leads
to improved 129Xe polarization, and bring the technique
to the advanced biomedical imaging standards.
