This study took advantage of the high polarization of MagniXene® to explore the dynamics of xenon uptake into the lung parenchyma and blood in rabbits. The Chemical Shift of xenon allows for distinguishing NMR frequencies between gas phase (GP) and dissolved phase (DP) and separating their MRI images. Dr. Kai Ruppert and his colleagues explored the time evolution of the gas-exchange in rabbit lungs, in healthy subjects and a lung disease model.
