## Abstract Images of hyperpolarized ^3^He were acquired during breath‐hold in four healthy volunteers with the use of an optimized 3D gradient‐echo sequence. The images were compared with existing 2D gradient‐echo methods. The average SNR from a 13‐mm‐thick slice in the peripheral lung was 1.4 tim
## Abstract A non‐invasive and free‐breathing hyperpolarized (HP) ^3^He imaging protocol for small animals was implemented and validated on rats for lung function imaging. Animals were allowed to breathe a mixture of air and ^3^He from a mask and a gas reservoir fitted to their heads. Radial imagin
## Abstract A novel imaging method is presented, Flip Angle Variation for Offset of RF and Relaxation (FAVOR), for rapid and efficient measurement of rat lung ventilation using hyperpolarized helium‐3 (^3^He) gas. The FAVOR technique utilizes variable flip angles to remove the cumulative effect of
