Static and Dynamic Ventilation of lungs measured with
hyperpolarized 3He-MRI are efficient tools to visualize
and quantify the lung ventilation and intrapulmonary gas
inflow. Ventilation measurements give information on
both spatial and temporal distribution of gas in airways
and parenchyma being of great importance for the
diagnostics of airways obstruction diseases e.g. asthma
and COPD. Measurements of static and dynamic lung
ventilation with HP-3He-MRI were performed on bronchial
asthma patients before and after bronchodilatation in
order find out if the BD-effect can be detected using
3He-MRI and to correlate the variation of measured
parameters with the spirometry tests.
