Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of directly imaging perfusion of human brain tissue by
using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with inhaled hyperpolarized xenon 129 ( 129 Xe). …

Background To support translational lung MRI research with hyperpolarized 129 Xe gas,
comprehensive evaluation of derived quantitative lung function measures against established …

Purpose Upon inhalation, xenon diffuses into the bloodstream and is transported to the brain,
where it dissolves in various compartments of the brain. Although up to five chemically …

Hyperpolarised gas lung MRI using xenon-129 can provide detailed 3D images of the ventilated
lung airspaces, and can be applied to quantify lung microstructure and detailed aspects …

Prognosticating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is challenging, in part due to a lack of
sensitive biomarkers. A recent article in Thorax described how hyperpolarised xenon magnetic …

Purpose To evaluate the performance of micro‐electromechanical systems (MEMS) switches
against PIN diodes for switching a dual‐tuned RF coil between 19 F and 1 H resonant …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of using dissolved hyperpolarized xenon‐129 ( 129 Xe)
MRI to study renal physiology in humans at 3 T. Methods Using a flexible transceiver RF coil, …

Hyperpolarized (HP) xenon‐129 ( 129 Xe) brain MRI is a promising imaging modality currently
under extensive development. HP 129 Xe is nontoxic, capable of dissolving in pulmonary …

Recently, the possibility of directly imaging the uptake of hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe gas in
the brain tissue of healthy normal subjects was demonstrated at the concentration achieved …

Rationale: Preterm birth is associated with low lung function in childhood, but little is known
about the lung microstructure in childhood. Objectives: We assessed the differential …
