## Abstract ## Purpose To protect the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome from ventilator associated lung injury (VALI) highβfrequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is used. Clinical experience has proven that HFOV is an efficient therapy when conventional artificial ventilation is i
## Abstract The ability to quantify pulmonary diffusing capacity and perfusion using dynamic hyperpolarized ^129^Xe NMR spectroscopy is demonstrated. A model of alveolar gas exchange was developed, which, in conjunction with ^129^Xe NMR, enables quantification of average alveolar wall thickness, pu
The nonequilibrium bulk magnetic moment of hyperpolarized (HP) noble gases generated by optical pumping has unique characteristics. Based on the Bloch equations, a model was developed describing the signal dynamics of HP gases used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung with special conside
