Pulmonary MRI contrast using Surface Quadrupolar Relaxation (SQUARE) of hyperpolarized 83Kr (2013)
Journal Article
Six, J. S., Hughes-Riley, T., Lilburn, D. M., Dorkes, A. C., Stupic, K. F., Shaw, D. E., …Meersmann, T. (2014). Pulmonary MRI contrast using Surface Quadrupolar Relaxation (SQUARE) of hyperpolarized 83Kr. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 32(1), 48-53. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mri.2013.08.007

Hyperpolarized 83Kr has previously been demonstrated to enable MRI contrast that is sensitive to the chemical composition of the surface in a porous model system. Methodological advances have lead to a substantial increase in the 83Kr hyperpolarizati...

Validating excised rodent lungs for functional hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI (2013)
Journal Article
Lilburn, D. M., Hughes-Riley, T., Six, J. S., Stupic, K. F., Shaw, D. E., Pavlovskaya, G. E., & Meersmann, T. (2013). Validating excised rodent lungs for functional hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI. PLoS ONE, 8(8), Article e73468. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0073468

Ex vivo rodent lung models are explored for physiological measurements of respiratory function with hyperpolarized (hp) 129Xe MRI. It is shown that excised lung models allow for simplification of the technical challenges involved and provide valuable...

Pathway to cryogen free production of hyperpolarized krypton-83 and xenon-129 (2012)
Journal Article
Six, J. S., Hughes-Riley, T., Stupic, K. F., Pavlovskaya, G. E., & Meersmann, T. (2012). Pathway to cryogen free production of hyperpolarized krypton-83 and xenon-129. PLoS ONE, 7(11), Article e49927. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0049927

yperpolarized (hp) 129Xe and hp 83Kr for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are typically obtained through spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) in gas mixtures with dilute concentrations of the respective noble gas. The usage of dilute noble gases mix... Read More about Pathway to cryogen free production of hyperpolarized krypton-83 and xenon-129.
