✦ Synopsis
The dependence of the enhancement of proton-electron double-resonance images upon the mobility of the proton bearing molecules, of the concentration of free radicals, and of the pulsed saturating RF power is studied in a magnetic field of 16 mT. The data exhibit a behavior which, in the potentially interesting region of small free radical concentration, may differ substantially from the high-concentration regime depending upon experimental conditions. The results permit a clearer understanding of the factors determining enhancement and contrast in images obtained by dynamic nuclear polarization.

Free radicals are implicated as causative agents in various forms of tissue destruction. Considerable circumstantial evidence suggests that oxygen-based free radicals generated as blood flow returns to formerly ischemic brain areas are mainly responsible for the neurodegeneration that follows period
