Noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension with hyperpolarised 129Xe magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy

Background The diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains challenging. Pre- and post-capillary PH have different signatures on noninvasive 129Xe gas-exchange magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dynamic MR spectroscopy (MRS). We tested the accuracy of 129Xe MRI/MRS to diagnose PH status compar...
