## Abstract With the use of polarizationβtransfer pulse sequences and hyperpolarized ^129^Xe NMR, gas exchange in the lung can be measured quantitatively. However, harnessing the inherently high sensitivity of this technique as a tool for exploring lung function requires a fundamental understanding
The demonstration of MR images using hyperpolarized cylindrical 25 cm 3 Pyrex polarization cell of 2 cm diameter 129 Xe has introduced a potential new contrast modality for and 7 cm length was coated with octadecyltrichlorosilane imaging (1, 2). Recently, others obtained hyperpolarized (OTS) (11) to
