The Role of Collateral Paths in Long-Range Diffusion of (3)He in Lungs

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The hyperpolarized (3)He long-range diffusion coefficient (LRDC) in lungs is sensitive to changes in lung structure due to emphysema, reflecting the increase in collateral paths resulting from tissue destruction. However, no clear understanding of LRDC in healthy lungs has...
