## Abstract Hyperpolarized ^129^Xe has been used to obtain gas phase images of mouse lung __in vivo__, showing distinct ventilation variation as a function of the breathing cycle. Spectra of ^129^Xe in the thorax show complex structure in both the gas phase (β4 to 3 ppm) and tissueβdissolved (190β2

Abstract
The first in vivo hyperpolarized ^129^Xe NMR study in experimental tumors is presented. Hyperpolarized ^129^Xe was dissolved in solutions, and was injected intratumorally in GHβ3 prolactinomas in rats and RIFβ1 fibrosarcomas in mice. The ^129^Xe NMR spectra and apparent spinβlattice relaxation times in the two tumor types present characteristic differences. These differences are discussed in terms of xenon exchange between the carrier medium and the tissue compartments. Magn Reson Med 46:586β591, 2001. Β© 2001 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract MR imaging of hyperpolarized (HP) nuclei is challenging because they are typically delivered in a single dose of nonrenewable magnetization, from which the entire image must be derived. This problem can be overcome with HP ^129^Xe, which can be produced sufficiently rapidly to deliver i

## Abstract Hyperpolarized ^129^Xe (HpXe) NMR not only holds promise for functional lung imaging, but for measurements of tissue perfusion as well. To investigate human brain perfusion, several timeβseries of ^129^Xe MR spectra were recorded from one healthy volunteer after HpXe inhalation. The tim
The interaction of xenon with different proteins in aqueous solution is investigated by 129 Xe NMR spectroscopy. Chemical shifts are measured in horse metmyoglobin, hen egg white lysozyme, and horse cytochrome c solutions as a function of xenon concentration. In these systems, xenon is in fast excha
