Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or spectroscopy (NMR), and more specifically relates to a device for controlling animal exhalation during the hyperpolarized gas MRI process of animal lungs, which can effectively enhance animal lung gas Signal, reducing the time of animal hypoxia, while reducing the waste of hyperpolarized gas. It is especially suitable for controlling the breathing of animals in MRI or NMR studies of hyperpolarized gases in animal lungs. Background technique
[0002] Currently, imaging techniques clinically used for disease detection include X-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), MRI and positron emission tomography (PET), etc., but in addition to MRI, other imaging techniques All have a certain amount of radioactivity and cannot be imaged multiple times in a short period of time. MRI has the advantages of no radioactivity and high resolution. However, due to the cavity ...
