3D diffusion‐weighted ¹²⁹Xe MRI for whole lung morphometry

Abstract

Compressed sensing has facilitated single-breath 3D multiple b-value ¹²⁹ Xe DW-MRI acquisitions, and results at ¹²⁹ Xe Δ = 8.5 ms indicate that ¹²⁹ Xe provides a viable alternative to ³ He for whole lung morphometry mapping with either the SEM or CM.
