Description
3D density-weighted MRSI in combination with a frequency-tailored RF excitation pulse was designed, implemented and used to detect xenon gas in the lungs and xenon dissolved in lung tissue and blood. These images were used to calculate quantitative ratio maps of tissue-to-gas, blood-to-gas, and blood-to-tissue with good SNR.
