متن کاملIn vivo comparison of 2D and 3D T2* in the rat lung using hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI at 1.5 T
The transverse relaxation time, T2, of hyperpolarized helium-3 in the lungs is a measure of the MR signal duration and it is an important parameter for pulse sequence optimization and image contrast. The T2 has also shown promise in characterizing lung microstructure due to its sensitivity to local gradients caused by gas-tissue interfaces, whose abundance per unit volume changes with lung infl...

متن کاملFeasibility of detecting radiation-induced lung injury in non-small cell lung cancer patients using hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI
Introduction Radiation induced lung injury occurs commonly after thoracic irradiation. As with SPECT [1], hyperpolarized helium-3 (He) MRI may be a useful supplementary tool for the evaluation of lung cancer radiotherapy treatment and its side effects [2-5]. The aim of this study was to compare He-MRI acquired from lung cancer patients before and after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to exami...
متن کاملHelium-3 MRI: Clinical applications of quantitative measurements of regional lung ventilation
For a variety of lung pathologies, it is crucial to assess lung function in order to quantify the severity of the disease, assess treatments, and predict clinical outcome. Obstructive lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma affect millions of people world-wide. The improvement of therapies for COPD such as lung volume reduction surgery and anti-inflammatory...
