Advances hyperpolarized 129Xe production, data acquisition and image analysis have allowed 129Xe MRI to emerge as a leading pulmonary imaging modality. As the number of sites capable of 129Xe MRI and quantitative image-derived metrics grow, the need for an intuitive, organized analysis tool increases. Here, we provide a user-friendly application, designed as MATLAB language-based interface, to analyze HP 129Xe data. This open-source, research tool enables standardized analysis of hyperpolarized 129Xe calibration, ventilation, diffusion, and gas-exchange data. Furthermore, the modular design allows developers to easily implement additional functions and analysis procedures, providing a framework for growth and sharing of analysis techniques.
