Single breath xenon polarization transfer contrast (SB-XTC): implementation and initial results in healthy humans

PURPOSE: To implement and characterize a single-breath xenon transfer contrast (SB-XTC) method to assess the fractional diffusive gas transport F in the lung: to study the dependence of F and its uniformity as a function of lung volume; to estimate local alveolar surface area per unit gas volume S(A...
