Short summary
Modern contrast agents for MRI lead to new methods for e.g. cancer diagnosis. One of these promising methods is called PHIP (parahydrogen-induced polarization) and can be performed at low instrumentation costs. However, it is based on parahydrogen which has to be produced on-site. Since commercial generators cost up to 150 000 Euro, we decided to provide the blueprints of our generator (< 3000 Euro) as open source to enable more groups to build their own generator and enter this research field.
Modern contrast agents for MRI lead to new methods for e.g. cancer diagnosis. One of these...
