Quantitative evaluation of radiation-induced lung injury with hyperpolarized xenon magnetic resonance

Abstract

Hyperpolarized xenon MR is effective for quantitative and comprehensive global evaluation of pulmonary function and structural changes without the use of radiation. This may open the door for its use in the diagnosis of lung diseases that are related to gas exchange. Magn Reson Med 76:408-416, 2016. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
