## Abstract The noninvasive assessment of lung function using imaging is increasingly of interest for the study of lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Hyperpolarized gas MRI (HP MRI) has demonstrated the ability to detect changes in ventilation, perfusi

## Abstract ## Purpose To address the problem of inadequate signalβtoβnoise ratio (SNR) encountered in lung perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by developing an indirect detection based on the strong hyperpolarized (HP) gas signal. ## Materials and Methods Our model is based on detecting
## Abstract Using a new method of xenon laserβpolarization that permits the generation of liter quantities of hyperpolarized ^129^Xe gas, the first ^129^Xe imaging results from the human chest and the first ^129^Xe spectroscopy results from the human chest and head have been obtained. With polariza
## Abstract The ability to accelerate the spatial encoding process during a chemical shift imaging (CSI) scan of hyperpolarized compounds is demonstrated through parallel imaging. A hardware setup designed to simultaneously acquire ^13^C data from multiple receivers is presented here. A system cons
## Abstract Hyperpolarization of spins via dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has been explored as a method to nonβinvasively study realβtime metabolic rocesses occurring in vivo using ^13^Cβlabeled substrates. Recently, hyperpolarized ^13^C pyruvate has been used to characterize in vivo cardiac me
