## Abstract Hyperpolarized (HP) ^3^He magnetic resonance imaging has been recently used to produce highβresolution images of pulmonary ventilation after methacholine (MCh) challenge in mouse models of allergic inflammation. This capability presents an opportunity to gain new insights about these mo
