Rapid and efficient mapping of regional ventilation in the rat lung using hyperpolarized 3He with Flip Angle Variation for Offset of RF and Relaxation (FAVOR).
A novel imaging method is presented, Flip Angle Variation for Offset of RF and Relaxation (FAVOR), for rapid and efficient measurement of rat lung ventilation using hyperpolarized helium-3 (3He) gas. The FAVOR technique utilizes variable flip angles to remove the cumulative effect of RF pulses and T...
