          We proposed a new method to evaluate the lung function 
						by measuring the time constant of oxygen consumption (T
          
           O-C
          
          ) 
						in the lung with hyperpolarized xenon MR. It 
						demonstrated that such time constant has a significant 
						difference between COPD and healthy rats, and we believe 
						this parameter is helpful to quantify the oxygen 
						concentration in oxygen therapy of patients.
