Quantification of regional fractional ventilation in human subjects by measurement of hyperpolarized 3He washout with 2D and 3D MRI.
Multiple-breath washout hyperpolarized (3)He MRI was used to calculate regional parametric images of fractional ventilation (r) as the ratio of fresh gas entering a volume unit to the total end inspiratory volume of the unit. Using a single dose of inhaled hyperpolarized gas and a total acquisition time of under 1 min, gas washout was measured by dynamic acquisitions during successive breaths w...
متن کاملAbnormal ventilation assessed with Hyperpolarized 3He MRI in young cystic fibrosis patients with normal lung function. Evaluation of immediate influence of a single chest physiotherapy session
Introduction: Cystic fibrosis is the lethal genetic pediatric disease with the highest incidence in the Caucasian population. An early and adapted treatment is essential to slow down disease progression. The purpose of this study is to assess the sensitivity of hyperpolarized (HP) He MRI for the detection of peripheral airway obstruction in cystic fibrosis patients with normal pulmonary functio...
متن کاملDetection of early subclinical lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis by lung ventilation imaging with hyperpolarised gas MRI.
Hyperpolarised 3He ventilation-MRI, anatomical lung MRI, lung clearance index (LCI), low-dose CT and spirometry were performed on 19 children (6-16 years) with clinically stable mild cystic fibrosis (CF) (FEV1>-1.96), and 10 controls. All controls had normal spirometry, MRI and LCI. Ventilation-MRI was the most sensitive method of detecting abnormalities, present in 89% of patients with CF, com...
متن کاملFunctional lung MRI for regional monitoring of patients with cystic fibrosis
PURPOSE To test quantitative functional lung MRI techniques in young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to healthy volunteers and to monitor immediate treatment effects of a single inhalation of hypertonic saline in comparison to clinical routine pulmonary function tests. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen clinically stable CF patients and 12 healthy volunteers prospectively underwent two f...
متن کاملLinking Ventilation Heterogeneity Quantified via Hyperpolarized 3He MRI to Dynamic Lung Mechanics and Airway Hyperresponsiveness
Advancements in hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI (HP 3He-MRI) have introduced the ability to render and quantify ventilation patterns throughout the anatomic regions of the lung. The goal of this study was to establish how ventilation heterogeneity relates to the dynamic changes in mechanical lung function and airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic subjects. In four healthy and nine mild-to-moderat...
