¹²⁹Xe Image Processing Pipeline: An open-source, graphical user interface application for the analysis of hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe MRI presents opportunities to assess regional pulmonary microstructure and function. Ongoing advancements in hardware, sequences, and image processing have helped it become increasingly adopted for both research and clinical use. As the number of applications and users increase, standardization becomes crucial. To that end, this study developed an executable, open-source ¹²⁹Xe image processing pipeline (XIPline) to provide a user-friendly, graphical user interface-based analysis pipeline to analyze and visualize ¹²⁹Xe MR data, including scanner calibration, ventilation, diffusion-weighted, and gas exchange images.

Methods

The customizable XIPline is designed in MATLAB to analyze data from all three major scanner p
