We present a novel kinetic model of 129Xe exchange (KMXE) in conjunction with blind estimation techniques to evaluate 129Xe exchange between pulmonary tissue and blood without needing an explicit measurement of RBC signals. Using simulations, we show that kinetic parameter estimates are comparable to those estimated using conventional methods, demonstrating feasibility for evaluating gas exchange kinetics when no distinct RBC spectral peak can be measured.
