Hyperpolarised gas lung MRI using xenon-129 can provide detailed 3D images of the
ventilated lung airspaces, and can be applied to quantify lung microstructure and detailed …

We report hyperpolarized Xe signal advancement by metal-organic framework (MOF)
entrapment (Hyper-SAME) in aqueous solution. The 129Xe NMR signal is drastically …

Dynamic X-ray (DXR) is a functional imaging technique that uses sequential images
obtained by a flat-panel detector (FPD). This article aims to describe the mechanism of DXR …

Objectives Multiple b-value gas diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) enables non-invasive and
quantitative assessment of lung morphometry, but its long acquisition time is not well …

Hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe MRI uniquely images pulmonary ventilation, gas exchange, and
terminal airway morphology rapidly and safely, providing novel information not possible …

Identification of pathologic changes in early and mild obstructive lung disease has shown
the importance of the small airways and their contribution to symptoms. Indeed, significant …

Pulmonary functional MRI (PfMRI) using inhaled hyperpolarized, radiation‐free gases (such
as 3He and 129Xe) provides a way to directly visualize inhaled gas distribution and …

Functional lung imaging modalities such as hyperpolarized gas MRI ventilation enable
