The lab studies lung diseases using MRI with hyperpolarized xenon.
AboutAbout the lab
Imaging the inside of the lungs with hyperpolarized xenon.
The Medical Magnetic Resonance Lab studies the condition of the lungs using MRI with hyperpolarized xenon.
Using hyperpolarized XeMRI, which raises the polarization of xenon to increase NMR sensitivity tens of thousands of times, the lab images the lungs, which has been difficult with conventional MRI.
The lab has worked on developing a preclinical evaluation system using hyperpolarized XeMRI, which has made early diagnosis and treatment possible for intractable lung diseases such as pulmonary emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis.
The English name of the lab's website is Laboratory of Isotope Kinetics.
The content of the research introduction page dates from around 2019.
Key terms
- Hyperpolarization
- A state in which the polarization of xenon is raised so that NMR sensitivity increases tens of thousands of times
- Hyperpolarized XeMRI
- A method that uses hyperpolarized xenon to image the lungs, which has been difficult with conventional MRI
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses MRI with hyperpolarized xenon to image the lungs, which has been difficult with conventional MRI, and studies how this can be applied to the diagnosis of intractable lung diseases. It also works on developing devices that produce hyperpolarized noble gases and on creating molecular probes for magnetic resonance imaging.
