Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization (PHIP) is a fast and scalable method for generating hyperpolarized \u00b9\u00b3C-labeled contrast agents, enabling broader access to real-time metabolic imaging. The unprecedented speed, scalability and simplicity of PHIP*-based HP MRI make it well-suited for integration into preclinical research and clinical workflows across many fields, including oncology, cardiology, and neurologic disease and disorders. In oncology, hyperpolarized imaging agents provide in vivo insights for the validation of disease mechanisms, metabolic phenotyping, and real-time monitoring of treatment response. In radiation therapy, they can serve as promising biomarkers throughout the clinical workflow, from evaluation of tumor sensitivity during planning to detecting early treatment response for potential treatment adaptation. In neurology, these agents enable the detection of subtle metabolic changes in the brains of patients with traumatic brain injury or allow to monitor neuroinflammation.\u00a0 If you are interested in attending the seminar please register at the following link:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSd3-0zlbIWqQbqzrF6XBlAk42Uk7a_iq3CXHTVnBLNBPAg-mA\/viewform\">NVision Imaging Technologies &#8211;
