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 …

The use of pulmonary MRI in a clinical setting has historically been limited. Whilst CT
remains the gold-standard for structural lung imaging in many clinical indications, technical …

Pulmonary MRI provides structural and quantitative functional images of the lungs without
ionizing radiation, but it has had limited clinical use due to low signal intensity from the lung …

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

Purpose Xenon‐129 (129Xe) gas‐exchange MRI is a pulmonary‐imaging technique that
provides quantitative metrics for lung structure and function and is often compared to …

Pulmonary functional imaging may be defined as the regional quantification of lung function
by using primarily CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine techniques. The distribution of pulmonary …

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 …

Background Recent studies demonstrate that antifibrotic drugs previously reserved for
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) may slow progression in other interstitial lung diseases …

Hyperpolarized (HP) xenon-129 (129Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the
potential to be used as a molecular imaging modality. For this purpose, numerous …

Purpose To reduce scan duration in hyperpolarized 129Xe 1‐point Dixon gas exchange
imaging by utilizing flip angle (FA)/TR equivalence. Methods Images were acquired in 12 …
