Comparison of hyperpolarized (3)He MRI with Xe-enhanced computed tomography imaging for ventilation mapping of rat lung.
Lung ventilation was mapped in five healthy Brown Norway rats (210-377 g) using both hyperpolarized (3)He MRI and Xe-enhanced computed tomography (Xe-CT) under similar ventilator conditions. Whole-lung measurements of ventilation r obtained with (3)He MRI were not significantly different from those...
