Hyperpolarised xenon-129 diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for assessing lung microstructure in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Background Hyperpolarised 129-xenon (129Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows promise in monitoring the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) due to the lack of ionising radiation and the ability to quantify functional impairment. Diffusion-weighted (DW)-MRI with hyperpolarised gas...
