We demonstrated that reducing the flip angle drives the distribution of acquired dissolved-phase xenon downstream towards the heart. By exploiting this principle, the dynamics of pulmonary gas transport were captured through a single 3D double golden means radial acquisition with linearly decreasing flip angles. Reconstruction with a sliding window generated a series of consecutive images with declining average flip angles, depicting the gradual uptake and accumulation of xenon by the heart and lungs.
