[1] [2] 129 Xe is a stable, naturally occurring isotope of xenon with 26.44% isotope abundance. It is one of two Xe isotopes, along with 131 Xe, that has non-zero spin, which allows for magnetic resonance. 129 Xe is used for MRI because its large electron cloud permits hyperpolarization and a wide range of chemical shifts
Xenon isotope geochemistry uses the abundance of xenon (Xe) isotopes and total xenon to investigate how Xe has been generated, transported, fractionated, and distributed in planetary systems. Xe has nine stable or very long-lived isotopes. Radiogenic 129 Xe and fissiogenic 131,132,134,136 Xe isotopes are of special interest in geochemical ...
Table 2 shows Xenon solubility in water medium at 37 °C is 8% but fat tissue in vivo environment the solubility value is 130%. Solubility leads the Xenon using in biological system as a contrasting agent. [citation needed] Solvent effect of xenon is very large for of 129 Xenon by the fact of solubility (table 2).
Spin polarization of 129 Xe can persist from several seconds for xenon atoms dissolved in blood [86] to several hours in the gas phase [87] and several days in deeply frozen solid xenon. [88] In contrast, 131 Xe has a nuclear spin value of 3 ⁄ 2 and a nonzero quadrupole moment , and has t 1 relaxation times in the millisecond and second ranges.
Such nuclei include helium-3, lithium-7, carbon-13, fluorine-19, oxygen-17, sodium-23, phosphorus-31 and xenon-129. 23 Na and 31 P are naturally abundant in the body, so they can be imaged directly. Gaseous isotopes such as 3 He or 129 Xe must be hyperpolarized and then inhaled as their nuclear density is too low to yield a useful signal under ...

Xenon-136 is an isotope of xenon that undergoes double beta decay to barium-136 with a very long half-life of 2.11 × 10 21 years, more than 10 orders of magnitude longer than the age of the universe ((13.799 ± 0.021) × 10 9 years). It is being used in the Enriched Xenon Observatory experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay.
