Hyperpolarized Xenon Brain MRI
نویسنده
چکیده
Since hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI was first demonstrated in the lung, air space imaging using hyperpolarized noble gases (129Xe and 3He) has progressed at a rapid rate (Goodson, 2002; Zhou, 2011c). Owing to high lipid solubility, absence of background signal in biological tissue, non-invasiveness, lack of radioactivity, different relaxation to oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, and larger chemical shift to the neighbor environment, hyperpolarized 129Xe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a great potential as a tool for studying the brain, especially for the assessment of cerebral blood flow (CBF) related to the brain function and activities.

Distribution of Hyperpolarized Xenon in the Brain Following Sensory Stimulation: Preliminary MRI Findings
In hyperpolarized xenon magnetic resonance imaging (HP (129)Xe MRI), the inhaled spin-1/2 isotope of xenon gas is used to generate the MR signal. Because hyperpolarized xenon is an MR signal source with properties very different from those generated from water-protons, HP (129)Xe MRI may yield structural and functional information not detectable by conventional proton-based MRI methods. Here we...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Noble Gas Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction Hyperpolarized noble gas magnetic resonance imaging (HP gas MRI) is a new and innovative imaging method that has made it possible, for the first time, to obtain high resolution MR images of air-filled organs such as the lungs, as well as lipid rich tissue such as the brain. Unlike conventional MRI which relies on the detection of water protons in biological tissue, HP gas MRI is ba...
متن کاملMolecular Sensing Using Hyperpolarized Xenon NMR Spectroscopy
Although proton-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a powerful modality for clinical imaging with excellent spatial resolution, it is not well suited to imaging void spaces (i.e., the lungs), low-abundance molecular markers of disease, or environments where unique proton spin densities are low. To address this limitation, hyperpolarized (hp) xenon-based NMR spectroscopy and MRI have...
متن کاملMRI thermometry based on encapsulated hyperpolarized xenon.
A new approach to MRI thermometry using encapsulated hyperpolarized xenon is demonstrated. The method is based on the temperature dependent chemical shift of hyperpolarized xenon in a cryptophane-A cage. This shift is linear with a slope of 0.29 ppm °C(-1) which is perceptibly higher than the shift of the proton resonance frequency of water (ca. 0.01 ppm °C(-1)) that is currently used for MRI t...
متن کاملGenetically encoded reporters for hyperpolarized xenon magnetic resonance imaging.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables high-resolution non-invasive observation of the anatomy and function of intact organisms. However, previous MRI reporters of key biological processes tied to gene expression have been limited by the inherently low molecular sensitivity of conventional (1)H MRI. This limitation could be overcome through the use of hyperpolarized nuclei, such as in the nob...
