The performance of two electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometers/imagers,
one configured in pulsed mode and the other in continuous wave (CW) mode, at an
operating frequency of 300 MHz is compared. Using the same resonator (except for altered
Q-factors), identical samples and filling factors in the two techniques have been evaluated
for their potentials and limitations for in vivo spectroscopic and imaging applications. The
assessment is based on metrics such as sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolution, field of …
