Hyperpolarized 83Kr magnetic resonance imaging of alveolar degradation in a rat model of emphysema

Hyperpolarized 83Kr surface quadrupolar relaxation (SQUARE) generates MRI contrast that was previously shown to correlate to surface to volume ratios in porous model surface systems. The underlying physics of SQUARE contrast is conceptually different from any other current MRI methodology as the met...
