Schematic representation of the influence of RF pulse angle on the magnetization due to the hyperpolarized state.

Notes: To “sample” the magnetization a small-angle RF pulse (angle α) is applied partially converting the magnetization into a detectable one in the x,y-plane and thus decreasing the residual magnetization.
