The use of inhaled hyperpolarized 3He gas in MRI is a recent approach for ventilation imaging. It has recently received enormous interest since it is capable of producing new and regional information on normal and abnormal lung ventilation. Promising preclinical and preliminary clinical results are the driving force to start phase II trials with patients suffering from obstructive and restrictive lung diseases.
