## Abstract In this work, a compartmental model to predict the concentration of hyperpolarized xenon (Xe) in the brain is developed based on the well established kinetics of Xe and estimated T1 values for the compartments. For the gaseous compartments, T1 was set to 12 seconds. For the tissue compa

## Abstract Subjective and physiologic effects of 33% inhaled Xe were measured with ^15^Oβwater positron emission tomography (PET) in 3 subjects at rest and during visual stimulation. The procedure was well tolerated. Robust functional activations of the visual cortex were obtained after xenon (Xe)
## Abstract ## Purpose To apply a continuous flowβtype hyperpolarizing (CFβHP) system to lung imaging and investigate the feasibility of hyperpolarized ^129^Xe MRI at a low xenon concentration. ## Materials and Methods Under two conditions where a 3% or 70% xenon gas mixture was constantly suppl
## Abstract MRI with hyperpolarized gases, ^3^He, ^129^Xe, ^13^C, and others, has the potential to become an important diagnostic technique for clinical imaging. Due to the nonreversible loss of magnetization in hyperpolarized gas imaging, the choice of the flip angle is a major factor that influen
The order within proton pairs in organic molecules, resulting from hydrogenation with parahydrogen, can be transferred in great part to nearby carbon 13 spins through adequate field manipulations. The molecules with hyperpolarized 13 C thus obtained can be used as new contrast agents of high efficie
