OBJECTIVE: Identify and quantify physiological sources of variability in hyperpolarized 129Xe gas-exchange MRI and present a dose-delivery workflow that promotes repeatable lung inflation and alveolar pressure during imaging.
THEORY AND METHODS: A modular 129Xe dose-delivery and monitoring system was developed with two configurations: a remotely actuated flow/volume-monitoring device used to evaluate pre-dose lung inflation, and a pressure-sensing mouthpiece used with conventional delivery to estimate alveolar pressure during breath-hold. In Cohort A (n = 12), standard coaching was evaluated by quantifying how pre-dose lung volumes deviated from the target of functional residual capacity (FRC). In Cohort B (n = 14), 129Xe spectroscopy under normal, Mueller, and Valsalva breath-hold maneuvers was used to quantify the extent to which alveolar pressure modulates RBC:Membrane (RBC:M) and RBC oscillation amplitude.
RESULTS: In Cohort A, coaching drove subjects in 70% of tests to exhale below FRC prior to dose delivery. Reduced lung volume is known to increase membrane and RBC signals beyond healthy-reference ranges. In Cohort B, changing alveolar pressure inversely affected RBC:M; Mueller increased RBC:M by 4.4% and Valsalva decreased it by 7%. Both maneuvers reduced RBC oscillation amplitude by ~20-25% of the original amplitude.
CONCLUSION: Variations in lung inflation and alveolar pressure are significant drivers of variability in critical 129Xe metrics. Integrating actuated delivery and real-time monitoring into dose delivery workflows offers a practical pathway to improving repeatability and standardization of quantitative spectroscopy and gas-exchange imaging.
