Reinvestigating hyperpolarized 129Xe longitudinal relaxation time in the rat brain with noise considerations

The longitudinal relaxation time of hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe in the brain is a critical parameter for developing HP 129Xe brain imaging and spectroscopy and optimizing the pulse sequences, especially in the case of cerebral blood flow measurements. Various studies have produced widely varying estim...
