Are There Any Challenges Associated with DNP in Cancer Research?
While DNP holds great promise, there are several challenges:
- Technical Complexity: The technique requires sophisticated equipment and expertise, limiting its accessibility. - Cost: High costs associated with DNP equipment and operation can be a barrier to widespread adoption. - Stability of Hyperpolarized Compounds: Maintaining the polarization of compounds long enough for imaging can be challenging, as they tend to relax quickly.
