Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Functional Lung Microstructure
… 129Xe (HXe) is a non-invasive contrast agent for lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which upon inhalation follows the functional pathway of oxygen in the lung by dissolving into lung tissue structures and entering the blood stream. HXe MRI therefore provides unique opportunities for functional …

Quantitative Assessment of Lung Microstructure in Healthy Mice Using an MR-based 3He Lung Morphometry Technique
… in our laboratory the MRI-based technique - 3He Lung Morphometry - is a unique tool allowing in vivo measurements of lung microstructural parameters such as alveolar volume, surface-to-volume ratio and alveolar density. These parameters are commonly used by lung physiologists and pathologists but …

Studies of Lung Micromechanics via Hyperpolarized 3He Diffusion NMR
While high quality MR Images of lungs are difficult to obtain with conventional proton MRI due to the organ's low tissue density, the advent of techniques in noble gas polarization have enabled MR investigations of the lung's more abundant air space rather than its tissue. In addition to …
