CT and PET should not be performed on patient repeatedly in short-term for monitoring the progression of diseases since the ionizing radiation and radioactivity. Herein, we tried to demonstrate the feasibility of hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe MR for monitoring the progression of acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. Our results indicated hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe MR has the potential to monitor the progression of ALI in rats.
