Distribution of hyperpolarized xenon in the brain following sensory stimulation: preliminary MRI findings.

Distribution of hyperpolarized xenon in the brain following sensory stimulation: preliminary MRI findings.

In hyperpolarized xenon magnetic resonance imaging (HP (129)Xe MRI), the inhaled spin-1/2 isotope of xenon gas is used to generate the MR signal. Because hyperpolarized xenon is an MR signal source with properties very different from those generated from water-protons, HP (129)Xe MRI may yield struc...
