Diverse cardiopulmonary diseases are associated with distinct xenon magnetic resonance imaging signatures

Conclusion
COPD, IPF, LHF and PAH each exhibit unique 129Xe MRI and dynamic spectroscopy signatures. These metrics may help with diagnostic challenges in cardiopulmonary disease and increase understanding of regional lung function and haemodynamics at the alveolar–capillary level.
