Synopsis
Pulmonary compliance is generally measured using ventilator and esophageal balloon in clinical practice, and only global compliance could be obtained. In this study, we proposed a method for imaging pulmonary compliance using hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe MRI. Lung compliance derived by HP 129Xe MRI could be used for quantifying the injuries caused by fibrosis in rats.
