XTC imaging takes advantage of the exchange between gas and dissolved phase Xe to provide information on lung function, as direct dissolved phase imaging is limited in signal. In this study, we demonstrate XTC imaging in a regular and transgenic mouse model. We aim to optimize depolarization effectiveness by varying delay time and number of saturation pulses applied in the imaging scheme and demonstrate the dependence of depolarization to these parameters.
