Oxygen‐dependent hyperpolarized 129Xe brain MR

Abstract: Hyperpolarized (HP) (129) Xe MR offers unique advantages for brain functional imaging (fMRI) because of its extremely high sensitivity to different chemical environments and the total absence of background noise in biological tissues. However, its advancement and applications are currently plagued by issues of signal strength. Generally, xenon atoms found in the brain after inhalation are transferred from the lung via the bloodstream. The longitudinal relaxation time (T1 ) of HP (129) Xe is inversely proportio… Show more

“…Therefore, the exposure time of Xe to paramagnetic O 2 should be minimal. After inhalation, the O 2 concentration in the lung and the blood will also contribute to the faster relaxation of Xe nuclei, thereby limiting the detectable Xe signal in different tissues [26].…”

“…Once dispersed into solution, T 1 of 129 Xe drops to ∼100 s for water at 9.4 T or shorter values, depending on parameters such as the solvent and the protein content in solution. In vivo conditions cause further shortening of T 1 and reflect the additional impact from paramagnetic species such as oxygen (during gas delivery via inhalation) and deoxy-haemoglobin in the bloodstream [26]. The Xe host used for HyperCEST must therefore provide conditions that ensure a buildup of saturation transfer that is faster than the intrinsic T 1 relaxation of the bulk Xe.…”

“…Hyperpolarized xenon gas was produced via spin‐exchange optical pumping using a homebuilt polarizer . The polarizer was equipped with a 75 W narrow‐width laser array (QPC Laser, Sylmar, CA, USA) and worked in continuous‐flow mode, and the source gas mixture consisted of 1% natural abundance xenon (26.4% 129 Xe), 10% N 2 , and 89% 4 He.…”

“…Hence, there should be an optimal pulmonary oxygen concentration for a given quantity of hyperpolarised 129 Xe in the brain. These relationships have been explored in theoretical and in vivo experiments for improving the 129 Xe signal in brain ( Figure 26) [337]. Cs NMR wih biological and biomedical systems and samples are based on the fact that caesium can be used as a substitute for potassium [338].…”
