The development of sensitive and chemically selective MRI contrast agents is imperative for the early detection and diagnosis of many diseases. Conventional responsive contrast agents used in <sup>1</sup> H MRI are impaired by the high abundance of protons in the body. <sup>129</sup> Xe hyperCEST NMR/MRI comprises a highly sensitive complement to traditional <sup>1</sup> H MRI because of its ability to report specific chemical environments. To date, the scope of responsive <sup>129</sup> Xe NMR ...[more]
