This review focuses on the state‐of‐the‐art of the three major classes of gas contrast agents
used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—hyperpolarized (HP) gas, molecular oxygen …

Fluorine‐19 (19F) MRI using inhaled inert fluorinated gases is an emerging technique that
can provide functional images of the lungs. Inert fluorinated gases are nontoxic, abundant …

Purpose To perform static breath-hold fluorine 19 (19F) three-dimensional (3D) ultrashort
echo time (UTE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the lungs in healthy volunteers by …

Fluorine-19 (19F)-based contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging stand to
revolutionize imaging-based research and clinical trials in several fields of medical …

Fluorine‐19 (19F) MRI of the lungs using inhaled inert fluorinated gases can potentially
provide high quality images of the lungs that are similar in quality to those from …

Morphological evaluation of the lung is important in the clinical evaluation of pulmonary
diseases. However, the disease process, especially in its early phases, may primarily result …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a potentially ideal imaging modality for noninvasive,
nonionizing, and longitudinal assessment of disease. Hyperpolarized (HP) agents have …

Over the past decade, fluorine (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has garnered
significant scientific interest in the biomedical research community owing to the unique …

Purpose Inert fluorinated gas lung MRI is a new and promising alternative to hyperpolarized
gas lung MRI; it is less expensive and does not require expensive isotopes/polarizers. The …

Respiratory diseases are leading causes of death and disability in the world. While early
diagnosis is key, this has proven difficult due to the lack of sensitive and non-invasive tools …
