Radio frequency coil and pulse sequence design for hyperpolarised noble gas MRI of the human lungs and brain
Conventional 1H MRI relies on protons in bodily tissues which are abundant in most organs of the human body whilst the lungs consist mainly of air spaces with a resulting low density of 1H that can be imaged. Hyperpolarised gas (3He and 129Xe) MRI provides solutions to these challenges by imaging th...
