By permitting direct visualization of the airspaces of the lung, magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) using hyperpolarized gases provides unique strategies for evaluating pulmonary …

Nuclear spin polarization can be significantly increased through the process of
hyperpolarization, leading to an increase in the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance …

The recovery process of COVID-19 patients is unclear. Some recovered patients complain of
continued shortness of breath. Vasculopathy has been reported in COVID-19, stressing the …

Recent developments in NMR hyperpolarization have enabled a wide array of new in vivo
molecular imaging modalities, ranging from functional imaging of the lungs to metabolic …

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

Purpose To quantitatively compare hyperpolarized helium 3 (3He) and xenon 129 (129Xe)
magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained within 5 minutes in healthy volunteers and …

Background Assessing functional impairment, therapeutic response and disease
progression in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) continues to be challenging …

Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease which carries high morbidity and
mortality from lung-function decline. Monitoring disease progression and treatment response …

Purpose To compare hyperpolarized helium‐3 (3He) and xenon‐129 (129Xe) MRI in
asthmatics before and after salbutamol inhalation. Materials and Methods Seven asthmatics …
