Xenon ventilation MRI in difficult asthma: initial experience in a clinical setting

Background Hyperpolarised gas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to assess ventilation patterns. Previous studies have shown the image-derived metric of ventilation defect per cent (VDP) to correlate with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1 in asthma...
