Here, we present our preliminary data for comparing
healthy and cystic fibrosis (CF) subjects using a robust
dissolved phase fitting method for post processing
Xe-129 3D Single-Breath Chemical Shift Imaging (3D
SB-CSI) data. In addition to the Tissue/RBC maps, we are
now able to generate peak position and T2* maps for the
tissue and RBC components. Global averages for the peak
positions and T2* are similar to those reported in
literature. CF subjects had a lower RBC peak position
than healthy subjects. Having regional analysis of these
parameters presents new avenues for probing and
understanding lung physiology and disease progression.
