Official Title: Developing Optimal Parameters for Hyperpolarized Noble Gas (3He and 129Xe) and Inert Fluorinated Gas Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Lung Disorders
Brief Summary: The goal of this research is to optimize the MRI system to obtain ideal lung images using Hyperpolarized (HP) Noble and Inert Fluorinated Gases as contrast agents. Lung coils tuned to the frequencies of these gases will be used. This study will take place at TBRHSC in the Cardiorespiratory Department and in the Research MRI facility.
