## Abstract Perfluorinated gases, particularly C~2~F~6~, are potentially suitable alternatives to hyperpolarized noble gases for pulmonary airspace spin density and diffusion MRI. This work focuses mainly on ^19^F imaging of C~2~F~6~ gas in healthy and emphysematous explanted lungs, avoiding regula
## Abstract Spatial modulation (tagging) of the longitudinal magnetization allows diffusive displacements to be measured over times approximately as long as __T__~1~ and over correspondingly long distances. Magnetization tagging is used here with hyperpolarized ^3^He gas in canine lungs with unilat
## Abstract ## Purpose To determine whether hyperpolarized heliumβ3 (HHe) diffusion MR can detect the expected enlargement of alveoli that occurs with lung growth during childhood. ## Materials and Methods A total of 29 normal subjects aged four to 30 years underwent HHe diffusion MR imaging wit
