Abstract 3 He magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is capable of producing new and regional
information on normal and abnormal lung ventilation. The basis of 3 He MRI involves …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using hyperpolarized 3helium (He) gas as the source of
signal provides new physiological insights into the structure–function relationships of the …

Traditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses the NMR signal from protons to obtain
images in the human body. The technique enables detailed imaging of brain and soft tissue …

MRI of the lungs using hyperpolarized helium‐3 (3He) allows the determination of
intrapulmonary oxygen partial pressures (pO2). The need to separate competing processes …

MR studies of the human lung with hyperpolarized 3 He have demonstrated the potential to
acquire high-resolution, but static, images of lung ventilation [1-3]. Given the high signal …

Abstract Hyperpolarized 3He (HP 3He) MRI shows promise to assess structural and
functional pulmonary parameters in a sensitive, regional, and noninvasive way. Structural …

Purpose To evaluate the use of spin‐tagging in conjunction with hyperpolarized gas
imaging for monitoring lung ventilation and gas diffusion. Methods and Materials Images …

During the past several years there has been extensive development and application of
hyperpolarized helium‐3 (HP 3He) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinical respiratory …

We applied the rapid imaging capability of echo planar MR pulse sequences and
hyperpolarized 3He ventilation imaging to observe the dynamic distribution of gas in the …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this work is to review hyperpolarized (HP)
