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 …

Pulmonary functional magnetic resonance imaging (PfMRI) provides a way to non-invasively
map and measure the spatial distribution of pulmonary ventilation, perfusion and gas …

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 has emerged as a novel means to evaluate pulmonary function
via 3D mapping of ventilation, interstitial barrier uptake, and RBC transfer. However, the …

Multiple thoracic imaging modalities have been developed to link structure to function in the
diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. Volumetric computed tomography (CT) renders …

Respiratory diseases are leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Pulmonary
imaging is an essential component of the diagnosis, treatment planning, monitoring, and …

Background Non‐contrast‐enhanced 1H magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with full lung
coverage shows promise for assessment of regional lung ventilation but a comparison with …

Purpose To evaluate the feasibility and utility of a deep learning (DL)‐based reconstruction
for improving the SNR of hyperpolarized 129Xe lung ventilation MRI. Methods 129Xe lung …

Functional lung imaging modalities such as hyperpolarized gas MRI ventilation enable
visualization and quantification of regional lung ventilation; however, these techniques …

Background Hyperpolarized gas MRI can quantify regional lung ventilation via biomarkers,
including the ventilation defect percentage (VDP). VDP is computed from segmentations …
