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 …

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

Purpose The goal of this work was to investigate lung morphological changes associated
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using hyperpolarized 129Xe diffusion …

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 …

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 …

Hyperpolarized 129 Xe magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful modality capable of
assessing lung structure and function. While it has shown promise as a clinical tool for the …

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is dictated by the magnetization of the sample,
and is thus a low-sensitivity imaging method. Inhalation of hyperpolarized (HP) noble gases …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of hyperpolarized 129Xe multiple‐breath washout MRI in
pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) participants with preserved lung function. Fractional ventilation …
