Article Synopsis
- Hyperpolarized Xe diffusion MRI is a potential biomarker for assessing airspace enlargement in COPD, but it needs validation against lung histology.
- A study compared diffusion measurements from MRI of explanted lungs from COPD and IPF patients with histological analysis to evaluate airspace size.
- Results indicated that diffusion MRI could quantify regional airspace enlargement in COPD more precisely, with notable differences in apparent diffusion coefficients and mean linear intercepts between the two conditions.
