Hyperpolarized (HP) gas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs offers additional information that cannot be obtained with CT scan, the current gold standard for imaging this disorder. As a nonionizing technique, MRI is an ideal modality for pulmonary imaging; in particular in the infant and pediatric population. Nevertheless, due to the low proton density of the lung parenchyma (only
20% that of solid tissues), numerous air-tissue interfaces that lead to rapid signal decay, and cardiac and respiratory sources of motion that further degrade image quality , MRI has played a limited role in the evaluation of lung pathologies. In this setting, HP gas (using 129Xe) MRI may play a role in helping determine the regional distribution of alveolar sizes, partial pressure of oxygen, alveolar wall thickness, and gas transport efficiency of the microvasculature within the lungs of infants with a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

M. ; Ricchi, Mattia ; Sgambelluri, Noemi ; Jacob, Kenneth ; Rider, Oliver J. ; Tyler, Damian J. ; Rayner, Jennifer J. ; Grist, James T. ; Birkhoelzer, Sarah ; Yeung, Kylie ; Gleeson, Fergus V. ; Mills, Rebecca ; McGing, Jordan J.

Abstract:

Purpose:

The purpose of this work is to validate a simple and versatile integrated variable flip angle (VFA) method for mapping B1 in hyperpolarized MRI, which can be used to correct signal variations due to coil inhomogeneity.

Theory and Methods:

Simulations were run to assess performance of the VFA B1 mapping method compared to the currently used constant flip angle (CFA) approach. Simulation results were used to inform the design of VFA sequences, validated in four volunteers for hyperpolarized xenon‐129 imaging of the lungs and another four volunteers for hyperpolarized carbon‐13 imaging of the human brain. B1 maps obtained were used to correct transmit and receive inhomogeneity in the images.

Results:

Simulations showed improved performance of the VFA approach over the CFA approach with reduced sensitivity to T1. For xenon‐129, the B1 maps accurately reflected the variation of signal depolarization, but in some cases could not be used to correct for coil receive inhomogeneity due to a lack of transmit‐receive reciprocity resulting from suboptimal coil positioning. For carbon‐13, the B1 maps showed good agreement with a separately acquired B1 map of a phantom and were effectively used to correct coil‐induced signal inhomogeneity.

Conclusion:

A simple, versatile, and effective VFA B1 mapping method was implemented and evaluated. Inclusion of the B1 mapping method in hyperpolarized imaging studies can enable more robust signal quantification.

Continuous Delivery of Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 Gas Using a “Stopped-Flow” Clinical-Scale Cryogen-Free Hyperpolarizer

Article

In 2022, the FDA approved hyperpolarized (HP) ¹²⁹Xe gas as an inhalable contrast agent for functional lung imaging. For clinical imaging, HP ¹²⁹Xe is usually given as a bolus inhalation. However, for preclinical applications (e.g., pulmonary imaging in small rodents), the continuous delivery of HP ¹²⁹Xe is greatly desired to enable MRI scanning under conditions of physiological continuous animal breathing patterns. Moreover, HP ¹²⁹Xe gas can be utilized for other applications including materials science and bioanalytical chemistry, where a continuous flow of hyperpolarized gas through an NMR sample over several minutes is also desired for sensing of ¹²⁹Xe inside an NMR spectrometer. ¹²⁹Xe is often hyperpolarized using continuous-flow spin-exchange optical pumping, which employs a lean (1-2%) mixture of Xe and a carrier gas (e.g., He and N₂). The low Xe concentration in the produced output reduces the NMR detection sensitivity, and thus, Xe cryo-collection is typically employed to achieve near-100% pure gas-phase Xe before administration to the sample or subject. However, the need for cryo-collection undermines a key advantage of continuous-flow production, i.e., the continuous flowing in a hyperpolarizer HP ¹²⁹Xe gas is trapped inside the hyperpolarizer, and the produced HP ¹²⁹Xe gas is released at once when the production cycle (30-60 min) is completed. An alternative HP ¹²⁹Xe production technology employs a "stopped-flow" approach, where a batch of HP gas is hyperpolarized over time and quickly released from a hyperpolarizer. Here, a clinical-scale "stopped-flow" ¹²⁹Xe hyperpolarizer was employed to hyperpolarize a 1.3 L-atm batch of 50:50 Xe:N₂ gas mixture inside a glass cell with an ultralong lifetime of the HP ¹²⁹Xe state (T₁ > 2 h). The produced HP ¹²⁹Xe gas was slowly delivered into a 5 mm NMR tube via PEEK tubing under a wide range of gas flow rates: 3-180 standard cubic centimeters per minute (sccm). The polarization of the gas ejected from the hyperpolarizer was quantified using in situ low-field NMR polarimetry and additionally verified using a 0.35 T clinical MRI scanner. Continuous-flow delivery of HP ¹²⁹Xe was demonstrated for up to 15 min with a gas flow rate of 45-150 sccm over a 2.5-m length of PEEK tubing, suffering only small losses in ¹²⁹Xe polarization. These observations are additionally supported by ¹²⁹Xe relaxation measurements inside the PEEK tubing employed for gas delivery and the 5 mm NMR tube employed for polarimetry. ¹²⁹Xe polarization of 16-19% was obtained in the delivered gas, starting with an "in-polarizer" ¹²⁹Xe polarization of 19%. We envision that this method can be employed for on-demand cryogen-free delivery of hyperpolarized gas using "stopped-flow" ¹²⁹Xe hyperpolarizers for a broad range of applications, from preclinical imaging to biosensors, and to spectroscopy of materials surfaces.

Compressed sensing reconstruction for high‐SNR, rapid dissolved ¹²⁹Xe gas exchange MRI

Article

Author: Munro, Ryan S. ; Norquay, Graham ; Wild, Jim M. ; Stewart, Neil J. ; Collier, Guilhem J. ; Pilgrim‐Morris, Jemima H.

Abstract:

Purpose:

Three‐dimensional hyperpolarized 129Xe gas exchange imaging suffers from low SNR and long breath‐holds, which could be improved using compressed sensing (CS). The purpose of this work was to assess whether gas exchange ratio maps are quantitatively preserved in CS‐accelerated dissolved‐phase 129Xe imaging and to investigate the feasibility of CS‐dissolved 129Xe imaging with reduced‐cost natural abundance (NA) xenon.

Methods:

129Xe gas exchange imaging was performed at 1.5 T with a multi‐echo spectroscopic imaging sequence. A CS reconstruction with an acceleration factor of 2 was compared retrospectively with conventional gridding reconstruction in a cohort of 16 healthy volunteers, 5 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, and 23 patients who were hospitalized following COVID‐19 infection. Metrics of comparison included normalized mean absolute error, mean gas exchange ratio, and red blood cell (RBC) image SNR. Dissolved 129Xe CS imaging with NA xenon was assessed in 4 healthy volunteers.

Results:

CS reconstruction enabled acquisition time to be halved, and it reduced background noise. Median RBC SNR increased from 6 (2–18) to 11 (2–100) with CS, and there was strong agreement between CS and gridding mean ratio map values (R2 = 0.99). Image fidelity was maintained for gridding RBC SNR > 5, but below this, normalized mean absolute error increased nonlinearly with decreasing SNR. CS increased the mean SNR of NA 129Xe images 3‐fold.

Conclusion:

CS reconstruction of dissolved 129Xe imaging improved image quality with decreased scan time, while preserving key gas exchange metrics. This will benefit patients with breathlessness and/or low gas transfer and shows promise for NA‐dissolved 129Xe imaging.

Long COVID Brain Fog Linked to Lung Function

CHICAGO, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In patients with long COVID, lower pulmonary gas exchange may be associated with impaired cognitive function, according to a study being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). According to the National Center for Health Statistics, approximately 17.6% of adults in the U.S. have experienced a post-COVID condition commonly referred to as long COVID. People with long COVID may exhibit a wide variety of symptoms, including difficulty concentrating ("brain fog"), change in sense of smell or taste, fatigue, joint or muscle pain, dyspnea (shortness of breath), digestive symptoms, and more. These symptoms may persist for weeks, months, or even years after COVID-19 infection. Researchers from the University of Iowa in Iowa City set out to assess associations between pulmonary MRI gas exchange, structural and functional brain MRI, and cognition in long COVID patients. In pulmonary gas exchange, oxygen moves from the lungs to the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream to the lungs. "This is the first time that MRI has been used to jointly assess lung and brain function to investigate their relationship in long COVID," said the study's lead author Keegan Staab, B.S., graduate research assistant in the Department of Radiology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. "This research is new in that it combines multiple unique imaging types to study a multiorgan relationship in a disease population." Senior study author Sean B. Fain, Ph.D., professor and vice chair for research in the Department of Radiology at the University of Iowa, added, "If these findings can be generalized to the long COVID population, the study suggests that there may be a causative relationship between cognitive dysfunction and lung dysfunction, suggesting a potential treatment strategy using methods that target improved gas exchange." For the study, 10 female and 2 male patients (median age: 59 years) who had persistent dyspnea and/or fatigue following the resolution of acute COVID-19 infection were recruited from a post-COVID-19 clinic. Hyperpolarized Xe pulmonary MRI, structural and functional brain MRI, pulmonary function tests and cognitive tests were acquired. "129Xe MRI allows for advanced measurements of ventilation and gas exchange," Staab said. "The literature also indicates that 129Xe may be more sensitive to pulmonary injury compared to standard breathing tests, making it better suited to study long COVID in which patients typically have normal breathing tests." Perceived cognitive difficulties were measured using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System, and objective cognitive performance was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Toolbox V3 Cognition Battery. "There was a range of cognitive difficulties among the patients in the study," Staab said. "Some were mild and indicated slight dysfunction, while others were more serious and indicated that some patients have slow thinking and trouble concentrating several times per day." The results showed that lower pulmonary gas exchange may be associated with cognitive dysfunction, as well as lower gray matter and white matter volumes in patients with long COVID. In addition, the researchers observed significant relationships suggesting that increased cerebral blood flow is associated with decreased gas exchange in long COVID patients. Staab said larger studies are needed to investigate the association between gas exchange and cerebral blood flow in long COVID. "This relationship could be a compensatory mechanism where lower lung function is compensated by higher cardiac output and higher brain perfusion," he said. "It's also a possibility that the disease mechanism that impairs pulmonary gas exchange also leads to higher brain perfusion through downstream vascular injury in both lung and brain." Based on the findings of this study, gas exchange abnormalities may help identify long COVID patients who require additional treatment or long-term management. Other co-authors are Marrissa J.

Polarean Receives Clearance for New MRI Chest CoilAdditional clearance for new MRI chest coil further supports the recently announced collaboration with Philips.

Durham, NC, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polarean (AIM: POLX) (“Polarean” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device leader in advanced MRI scanning of the lungs, announces it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Company’s specialized MRI chest coil to now include Philips 3.0T MRI scanners for the visualization of the Xenon-129 (129Xe) nuclei.
