## Abstract Hyperpolarized (HP) ^3^He magnetic resonance imaging has been recently used to produce highโresolution images of pulmonary ventilation after methacholine (MCh) challenge in mouse models of allergic inflammation. This capability presents an opportunity to gain new insights about these mo
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate shortโ and longโtimeโscale ^3^He diffusion in asthma. ## Materials and Methods A hybrid MRI sequence was developed to obtain coregistered shortโ and longโtimeโscale apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps during a single breathโhold. The study groups were:
## Abstract Hyperpolarized ^3^He images of mouse lung are presented. Ventilation images and measurements of ^3^He apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) are reported in healthy mice, and preliminary studies of emphysema and lung cancer in mice are described using these techniques. The design and oper
## Abstract Diffusion MRI of hyperpolarized ^3^He shows that the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of ^3^He gas is highly restricted in the normal lung and becomes nearly unrestricted in severe emphysema. The nature of this restricted diffusion provides information about lung structure; however,
## Abstract In this study, MRI of hyperpolarized ^3^He gas in human paraโnasal sinuses is presented. Helium images were obtained at 1.5 T, using a surface coil and a 2D, fast gradientโecho sequence with a nominal constant flip angle of 12ยฐ. Coronal images of 20โmm thick slices were generated and co
