Chen, H.-Y. and R. Tycko, Low-temperature magnetic resonance imaging with 2.8 ?m isotropic resolution. Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 2018. 287: p. 47-55.
We demonstrate the feasibility of high-resolution 1H magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at low temperatures by obtaining an MRI image of 20 ?m diameter glass beads in glycerol/water at 28 K with 2.8 ?m isotropic resolution. The experiments use a recently-described MRI apparatus (Moore and Tycko, 2015) with minor modifications. The sample is contained within a radio-frequency microcoil with 150 ?m inner diameter. Sensitivity is additionally enhanced by paramagnetic doping, optimization of the sample temperature, three-dimensional phase-encoding of k-space data, pulsed spin-lock detection of 1H nuclear magnetic resonance signals, and spherical sampling of k-space. We verify that the actual image resolution is 2.7 ± 0.3 ?m by quantitative comparisons of experimental and calculated images. Our imaging approach is compatible with dynamic nuclear polarization, providing a path to significantly higher resolution in future experiments.

Cavity- and waveguide-resonators in electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, and magnetic resonance imaging
This is a very nice review of cavities that are used in EPR, NMR and MRI. So far resonators have not been widely employed in DNP spectroscopy - only in some static DNP experiments. However, it is an intriguing problem that could, if solved, allow using cost-effective solid-state sources for DNP even at high temperatures.
Even if this article is not specifically about resonators for DNP it gives a very nice overview of the...
