It is via coupling to a magnetic field that energy is added to increase the angular momentum of a nucleus in NMR devices and hence the energy of the subject nucleus. The energy is then re-deposited in the magnetic field when the field strength changes from a resonance value for the subject nucleus. It is my understanding that this happens in small quanta of energy associated with the individual spin states (J) of the subject nucleus (increments of h-bar.) The absorption and re-emission of energy is what is monitored during MRI. The activation of higher spin states with more than one quanta of spin energy is possible. The higher the energy absorption the easier it is to monitor the signal. The same sort of activation of resonances of electric dipoles and quadrapoles of nuclei is also possible with resonant EM radiation . I do not know about coupling for re-emission to the input resonant E field. I believe that lasers have been used to achieve such resonant addition of energy to nuclei. I think it was deemed possible in the late 70’s as a way to excite radioactive nuclei to a higher energy state with subsequent decay to a stable nuclei. It was not implemented, however, because the government did not want to develop or identify the technology associated with the fine tuning of lasers and gasers. I may be wrong about the reasons it was not developed, since I did not have knowledge of what was available then. However, I think current technology would allow such tuning as would be necessary to get significant energy through the electronic cloud of an atom. .

I think you mean the longest emission wavelength, and 6 keV corresponds to a wavelength of over 200000 fm, which is already very mush larger than the nucleus, and yet clearly not impossible.
