Dynamic hyperpolarized gas MRI of lung is able to visualize the dynamic changes of pulmonary morphology during the ventilation process, which provides the important information about lung physiology and pathophysiology. However, there is a lack of an effective method to depict the gas flow patterns in the whole lung. In this work, we propose a motion field calculation method based on the pulmonary gas flow properties, which can acquire the velocity and direction of gas flow. The performance of the proposed method is investigated experimentally.
