Hello there!
I am (hopefully) making my graduation at Rad-tech school next year and I am about to write my first bachelor-thesis. As it hasn't been discussed in our lectures I am very curious about the use of hyperpolarised gases like Helium-3 or Xenon-129 for MRI scans. It isn't a common used method in our country, but I still would like to write about it. I already have read several studies and would like to know more about the daily use of it, especially in lung diagnostics. My main questions are:
Is it used frequently in your facility? What are the main application areas? Is there any significant diagnostic advantage compared to other methods (SPECT/FRT/HR-CT)?
I am very eager to read your answers, it is really an interesting topic!
