  • Patent number: 11719655
    Abstract: A method for measuring oil-water distribution using DNP-MRI, comprising adding a free radical for DNP enhanced NMR signal of a water phase or an oil phase in a sample containing oil and water; performing an MRI experiment on the sample, and collecting an MRI image of the sample without DNP enhancement; applying microwave excitation for DNP-MRI experiment under the same MRI experiment condition as step 2, and collecting an MRI image of the sample after DNP enhancement; and comparing the MRI image after DNP enhancement with the MRI image without DNP enhancement. In the MRI image with DNP enhancement, an area with enhanced MRI signal intensity is a selectively enhanced fluid phase distribution area, and an area without obviously changed MRI signal intensity is a non-selectively enhanced fluid phase distribution area. The method is simple, convenient to operate, short in measurement time, and high in measurement efficiency.
