A hybrid proton and hyperpolarized gas tagging MRI technique for lung respiratory motion imaging: the feasibility study.
Conclusion: These preliminary results showed that the hybrid HP gas tagging MRI technique revealed different lung motion patterns as compared to the DIR methods. It may provide unique perspectives in developing and evaluating DIR of the lungs.
