Pulmonary diseases are one of the leading causes of death and contribute to major
healthcare cost in the United States. However, clinical treatment of these diseases has long …

The diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases still rely on pulmonary function tests that
offer archaic or insensitive biomarkers of lung structure and function. As a consequence …

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

Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI (Xe‐MRI) is increasingly used to image the structure and
function of the lungs. Because 129Xe imaging can provide multiple contrasts (ventilation …

Conclusion Various metrics derived from hyperpolarized 129Xe gas exchange MRI and
spectroscopy have been proposed as potential markers of disease progression and therapy …

Background MRI of hyperpolarized 129Xenon (HP 129Xe) is increasingly utilized for
investigating pulmonary function. The solubility of HP 129Xe in lung tissue, blood plasma …

Introduction: Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI (HPX) is a promising diagnostic modality for 3D
imaging of pulmonary function without radiation. It overcomes the lack of regionality of …

Abstract Hyperpolarized (HP) 129 Xe MRI has emerged as a viable tool for evaluating lung
function without ionizing radiation. HP 129 Xe has already been used to image ventilation …

Hyperpolarized 129 Xe MRI is a monumental imaging advancement for studying pulmonary
structure and function. Following an inhalation of hyperpolarized 129 Xe gas, it enables …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains one of the top causes of death
worldwide. With an aim toward precision medicine, pulmonary imaging is increasingly used …
