Abstract :
A new dynamic magnetic resonance imaging method was developed to image rat lung dynamics using hyperpolarized noble gases. Spatially selective encoding methods were developed for imaging hyperpolarized noble gases. These methods were customized for dynamic imaging using an adaptive approach, so that temporal and spatial resolution could be improved
