Caption: The top image shows an MRI signal from thermally polarized propylene, and the bottom image shows the signal obtained with parahydrogen-polarized propylene. The signal-to-noise ratio of the bottom image is a factor of 300 larger than that of the thermally polarized propylene in the top image.
