Journal Article
Pavlovskaya, G. E., & Meersmann, T. (2014). Spatial mapping of flow-induced molecular alignment in a noncrystalline biopolymer fluid using double quantum filtered (DQF) 23Na MRI. Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 5(15), https://doi.org/10.1021/jz501075j

Flow-induced molecular alignment was observed experimentally in a non-liquid- crystalline bioplymeric fluid during developed tubular flow. The fluid was comprised of rigid rods of the polysaccharide xanthan and exhibited shear-thinning behavior. With...

Pulmonary MRI contrast using Surface Quadrupolar Relaxation (SQUARE) of hyperpolarized 83Kr (2013)
Journal Article
Six, J. S., Hughes-Riley, T., Lilburn, D. M., Dorkes, A. C., Stupic, K. F., Shaw, D. E., …Meersmann, T. (2014). Pulmonary MRI contrast using Surface Quadrupolar Relaxation (SQUARE) of hyperpolarized 83Kr. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 32(1), 48-53. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mri.2013.08.007

Hyperpolarized 83Kr has previously been demonstrated to enable MRI contrast that is sensitive to the chemical composition of the surface in a porous model system. Methodological advances have lead to a substantial increase in the 83Kr hyperpolarizati...

Validating excised rodent lungs for functional hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI (2013)
Journal Article
Lilburn, D. M., Hughes-Riley, T., Six, J. S., Stupic, K. F., Shaw, D. E., Pavlovskaya, G. E., & Meersmann, T. (2013). Validating excised rodent lungs for functional hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI. PLoS ONE, 8(8), Article e73468. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0073468

Ex vivo rodent lung models are explored for physiological measurements of respiratory function with hyperpolarized (hp) 129Xe MRI. It is shown that excised lung models allow for simplification of the technical challenges involved and provide valuable...
