## Abstract MR elastography (MRE) is a phase contrastβbased technique for spatially mapping the mechanical properties of tissueβlike materials. While hyperpolarized noble gases such as heliumβ3 (^3^He) have proven to be an ideal contrast mechanism for imaging of the lung using conventional MR techn

## Abstract Asthma is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation and reversible obstruction of the small airways resulting in impaired pulmonary ventilation. Hyperpolarized ^3^He magnetic resonance (MR) lung imaging is a new technology that provides a detailed image of lung ventilation. Hyperp
## Abstract Diseases of the small airspaces represent an increasingly important health problem. Asthma is primarily a disease of airway dysfunction, while chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with abnormalities in both the small airways and the alveoli. Conventional diffusion
