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

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...
