## Abstract A stimulated‐echo‐based technique was developed to measure the regional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of hyperpolarized ^3^He during a single breathhold for diffusion times of 25 ms or greater. Compared to previous methods, a substantially shorter minimum diffusion time was achie
## Abstract ## Purpose To measure the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of hyperpolarized (HP) ^3^He gas using diffusion weighted MRI in healthy volunteers and patients with emphysema and examine the reproducibility and volume dependency. ## Materials and Methods A total of eight healthy volu
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate short‐ and long‐time‐scale ^3^He diffusion in asthma. ## Materials and Methods A hybrid MRI sequence was developed to obtain coregistered short‐ and long‐time‐scale apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps during a single breath‐hold. The study groups were:
