Quantitative Measure of Lung Structure and Function Obtained from Hyperpolarized Xenon Spectroscopy

Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 (HXe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides tools for obtaining 2- or 3-dimensional maps of lung ventilation patterns, gas ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance (MR)-based imaging markers in predicting future forced expiratory volume in one second decline/chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder progression in smokers compared to current diagnostic techniques.

A Model for Predicting Future FEV1 Decline in Smokers Using Hyperpolarized He Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

In this study, we compared a newly developed multibreath simultaneous alveolar oxygen tension and apparent diffusion coefficient (PO-ADC) imaging sequence to a single-breath acquisition, with the aim of mitigating the compromising effects of intervoxel flow and slow-filling regions on single-breath measurements, especially in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) subjects.

Multibreath Hyperpolarized He Imaging Scheme to Measure Alveolar Oxygen Tension and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient.

To demonstrate the feasibility of generating red blood cell (RBC) and tissue/plasma (TP)-specific gas-phase (GP) depolarization maps using xenon-polarization transfer contrast (XTC) MR imaging.

Measuring pulmonary gas exchange using compartment-selective xenon-polarization transfer contrast (XTC) MRI.

This study aims to develop and validate a parametric response mapping (PRM) methodology to accurately identify diseased regions of the lung by using variable thresholds to account for alterations in regional lung function between the gravitationally-independent (anterior) and gravitationally-dependent (posterior) lung in CT images acquired in the supine position.

Deriving Regionally Specific Biomarkers of Emphysema and Small Airways Disease Using Variable Threshold Parametric Response Mapping on Volumetric Lung CT Images.

Simultaneous Imaging of Ventilation and Gas Exchange with Hyperpolarized Xe MRI for Monitoring Patients with Endobronchial Valve Interventions.

Lesion segmentation is a critical step in medical image analysis, and methods to identify pathology without time-intensive manual labeling of data are of utmost importance during a pandemic and in resource-constrained healthcare settings. Here, we describe a method for fully automated segmentation and quantification of pathological COVID-19 lung tissue on chest Computed Tomography (CT) scans without the need for manually segmented training data.

Unsupervised segmentation and quantification of COVID-19 lesions on computed Tomography scans using CycleGAN.

To demonstrate the feasibility of a multi-breath xenon-polarization transfer contrast (XTC) MR imaging approach for simultaneously evaluating regional ventilation and gas exchange parameters.
