While hyperpolarized (HP) gas MRI has been used to estimate alveolar oxygen tension ( p A O 2 ) [1], it has not been systematically compared to Gold standard to assess its potential for monitoring disease progression and response to new therapies. In this work, we compare imaged p A O 2 to data produced via pulmonary function test, six-minute walk test, and St.-George Questionnaire.
