Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyHyperpolarized (3) He and (129) Xe MRI: differences in asthma before bronchodilation.
To compare hyperpolarized helium-3 ((3) He) and xenon-129 ((129) Xe) MRI in asthmatics before and after salbutamol inhalation. ⋯ In asthma, hyperpolarized (129) Xe MRI may help reveal ventilation abnormalities before bronchodilation that are not observed using hyperpolarized (3) He MRI.
