Quantitative Evaluation of Hyperpolarized Helium-3 Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Lung Function Variability in Cystic Fibrosis

Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To better understand imaging measurement precision and reproducibility and to provide guidance for measurements in individual cystic fibrosis (CF) subjects, we evaluated CF adults on two occasions 7 ± 2 days apart using spirometry, plethysmography, and hyperpolarized helium-3 ((3)He) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve CF subjects underwent spirometry, plethysmography, and (3)He MRI twice …
