Study of hyperpolarised 3He MRI diffusion on asthma and cystic fibrosis, and development of hyperpolarised 129Xe MRI lung imaging

Hyperpolarised gas Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive method developed to provide images of the void spaces of the lungs, and evaluate the distal airways via diffusion weighted techniques. The work in this thesis covers the use of both hyperpolarised 3He and hyperpolarised 129Xe gas...
