Hyperpolarization is an emerging method in magnetic resonance imaging that allows
nuclear spin polarization of gases or liquids to be temporarily enhanced by up to five or six …

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

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 …

Purpose To develop and optimize a rapid dynamic hyperpolarized 129Xe ventilation (DXeV)
MRI protocol and investigate the feasibility of capturing pulmonary signal‐time curves in …

Purpose To implement and optimize a single‐shot spiral encoding strategy for rapid 2D
IDEAL projection imaging of hyperpolarized (Hp) 129Xe in the gas phase, and in the …

Purpose Hyperpolarized (HP) media enable biomedical imaging applications that cannot be
achieved with conventional MRI contrast agents. Unfortunately, quantifying HP images is …

Purpose Radiation‐induced lung injury (RILI) is still the major dose‐limiting toxicity related
to lung cancer radiation therapy, and it is difficult to predict and detect patients who are at …

Although critical for development of novel therapies, understanding altered lung function in
disease models is challenging because the transport and diffusion of gases over short …

Diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a way to generate in vivo
lung images with contrast sensitive to the molecular displacement of inhaled gas at …
