We investigated the feasibility of 3D hyperpolarized (HP) (129)Xe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at an extremely low concentration of HP (129)Xe supplied from a continuous flow-type hyperpolarizing (CF-HP) system and established a standard procedure for measuring regional lung ventilation of small animals, such as the mouse, as a baseline for further studies.

    Our results showed that V(s)/V(a) was significantly reduced in elastase-treated mice, reflecting emphysema-like destruction of the alveolar wall. Compared with histologic results, this degree of reduction was shown to reflect the severity of wall destruction. On the other hand, significant changes i...
