Gas washout measured with hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI
can be used to obtain quantitative regional lung
function in 3D (MBW-I). Multiple breath inert gas
washout as clinically performed in the pulmonary
function lab (MBW) is sensitive to early signs of
ventilation heterogeneity in obstructive lung diseases.
In this work MBW-I and MBW were performed in healthy
controls, CF patients and an asthma cohort. Ventilation
heterogeneity as measured by MBW-I was found to
correlate significantly with MBW & spirometry. The MBW-I
derived parameter to measure ventilation heterogeneity
was found to be more sensitive to ventilation
heterogeneity than conventional MBW and spirometry.
