Background Multi‐b diffusion‐weighted hyperpolarized‐gas MRI measures pulmonary
airspace‐enlargement using apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) and mean‐linear …

Purpose Parallel imaging can be used to reduce imaging time and to increase the spatial
coverage in hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance imaging of the lung. In this proof‐of …

Lung imaging using conventional 1H MRI presents great challenges because of the low
density of lung tissue, lung motion and very fast lung tissue transverse relaxation (typical T2 …

The pulse sequences for hyperpolarized 3He lung MRI that have made the most clinical
impact to date are 1) those that supply regional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) …

Although diffusion-based in vivo lung morphometry with hyperpolarized gases MRI is a
powerful tool to study lung diseases, it is usually performed in a 2D mode with only a few …

Emphysema is a major public health concern resulting in significant morbidity and mortality.
Current technologies for assessing emphysema are insensitive to early disease, and the …

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a unique tool that allows studying tissue
structure at a scale that is much smaller than experimentally achievable voxel resolution …

The introduction of hyperpolarized gases (3He and 129Xe) has opened the door to
applications for which gaseous agents are uniquely suited—lung MRI. One of the pulmonary …
