Popis: PURPOSE In this study, we compared hyperpolarized 3He and 129Xe images from patients with cystic fibrosis using two commonly applied magnetic resonance sequences, standard gradient echo (GRE) and balanced steady-state free precession (TrueFISP) to quantify regional similarities and differences in signal distribution and defect analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients (7M/3F) with cystic fibrosis underwent hyperpolarized gas MR imaging with both 3He and 129Xe. Six had MRI with both GRE, and TrueFISP sequences and four patients had only GRE sequence but not TrueFISP. Ventilation defect percentages (VDPs) were calculated as lung voxels with
