A pilot study of function‐based radiation therapy planning for lung cancer using hyperpolarized xenon‐129 ventilation MRI

Abstract

In this pilot study, function-based radiotherapy planning using hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI is demonstrated to be feasible in 10 patients with NSCLC with the potential to reduce radiation exposure in well-ventilated areas of the lung defined by hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI.
