Pulmonary ventilation visualized using hyperpolarized helium-3 and xenon-129 magnetic resonance imaging: differences in COPD and relationship to emphysema.
In subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hyperpolarized xenon-129 ((129)Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals significantly greater ventilation defects than hyperpolarized helium-3 ((3)He) MRI. The physiological and/or morphological determinants of ventilation defects and the differences observed between hyperpolarized (3)He and (129)Xe MRI are not yet understood. H...
متن کاملEvaluating bronchodilator effects in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using diffusion-weighted hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance imaging.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the regional effects of bronchodilator administration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using hyperpolarized helium-3 ((3)He) MRI apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Ten COPD ex-smokers provided written, informed consent and underwent diffusion-weighted, hyperpolarized (3)He MRI, spirometry, and plethysmography before and 25 ± 2 min af...
متن کاملPersonalized Airway Trees from a Generative Model, Lung Atlas, and Hyperpolarized Helium MRI
Biomedical researchers are actively interested in building anatomically explicit computational models of the lung to further their understanding of pathologies, for example asthma, which affect the human body. Current methods have relied on a generic lung airway model which may not accurately reflect the physiology of a given subject. Patient specific models are needed to overcome this limitati...
متن کاملLinking Ventilation Heterogeneity Quantified via Hyperpolarized 3He MRI to Dynamic Lung Mechanics and Airway Hyperresponsiveness
Advancements in hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI (HP 3He-MRI) have introduced the ability to render and quantify ventilation patterns throughout the anatomic regions of the lung. The goal of this study was to establish how ventilation heterogeneity relates to the dynamic changes in mechanical lung function and airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic subjects. In four healthy and nine mild-to-moderat...
متن کاملBronchiolitis Obliterans following Lung Transplantation: Evaluation with Hyperf’olarized Helium-3 Mr Imaging
BOS Stace ABSTRACT Chronic rejection evidenced as bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most common cause of allograft dysfunction alter lung transplantation (LTX). Currently, BOS is diagnosed indirectly based by pulmonary function tests. We investigated the potential of hyperpolarized helium-3 (H’He) MRI in assessing BOS in 13 LTX patients by correlating the percent H’He ventilation o...
