The non-invasive nature of arterial spin labelling (ASL) has opened a unique window into
human brain function and perfusion physiology. High spatial and temporal resolution makes …

Arterial spin labeling is a magnetic resonance method for the measurement of cerebral
blood flow. In its simplest form, the perfusion contrast in the images gathered by this …

The interpretation of experimental results from functional medical imaging is complicated by
intersubject and interspecies differences in airway geometry. The application of …

MRI provides unsurpassed soft tissue contrast, but the inherent low sensitivity of this
modality has limited the clinical use to imaging of water protons. With hyperpolarization …

With advances in multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT), it is now possible to
image the lung in 10 s or less and accurately extract the lungs, lobes, and airway tree to the …

Pediatric chest MRI is challenging. High-resolution scans of the lungs and airways are
compromised by long imaging times, low lung proton density and motion. Low signal is a …

The ability to quantify pulmonary diffusing capacity and perfusion using dynamic
hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR spectroscopy is demonstrated. A model of alveolar gas …

Purpose: To develop a novel MR‐based method for visualizing the elastic properties of
human lung parenchyma in vivo and to evaluate the ability of this method to resolve …

Para‐hydrogen‐induced polarization (PHIP) is a technique capable of producing spin
polarization at a magnitude far greater than state‐of‐the‐art magnets. A significant …

Pulmonary proton MRI techniques offer the unique possibility of assessing lung function and
structure without the requirement for hyperpolarization or dedicated hardware, which is …
