ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for applying dynamic nuclear polarization and magnetic imaging to studying an object. As the saturation of an electron spin system required by dynamic nuclear polarization is proceeding, the intensity of a polarizing magnetic field over the object is different from that of a polarizing magnetic field lying over the object during the detection of an NMR signal. The apparatus is provided with means for changing the intensity of a polarizing magnetic field in a manner such that the difference between magnetic field intensities is achieved.
