Measuring Extracellular pH in a Lung Fibrosis Model with acidoCEST MRI
2015
Purpose
A feed-forward loop involving lactic acid production may potentially occur during the formation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. To provide evidence for this feed-forward loop, we used acidoCEST MRI to measure the extracellular pH (pHe), while also measuring percent uptake of the contrast agent, lesion size, and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC).
