Using a low-field magnetic resonance scanner, we have obtained images of gaseous polarized 129Xe and water cells at room temperature. This potentially low-cost imaging technique offers the possibility of high-resolution imaging using both polarized noble gas and proton magnetic resonance imaging of tissues in the same scanner.
