Correlations between 129Xe MRI measures of microstructure and gas exchange and CALIPER CT variables were evaluated both globally and regionally in IPF patients. To date, 27 subjects have undergone both baseline 129Xe DW-MRI and CT with 13 of them having baseline dissolved 129Xe imaging using a 3D radial spectroscopic method. Our findings demonstrate several significant correlations between dissolved 129Xe MRI (RBC:TP, TP:Gas, RBC:Gas) and CALIPER variables. Vessel related structures % was the only CALIPER variable that showed a significant correlation between 129Xe RBC:TP globally and in all lung zones. There were no significant correlations between 129Xe DW-MRI and CALIPER variables.
