## Abstract We used the dual capability of hyperpolarized ^129^Xe for spectroscopy and imaging to develop new measures of xenon diffusing capacity in the rat lung that (analogously to the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide or __D__~__LCO__~) are calculated as a product of total lung volume and g
