Validating Excised Rodent Lungs for Functional Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MRI

Ex vivo rodent lung models are explored for physiological measurements of respiratory function with hyperpolarized (hp) (129)Xe MRI. It is shown that excised lung models allow for simplification of the technical challenges involved and provide valuable physiological insights that are not feasible us...
