The sequence parameters for dissolved-phase imaging are comparable to those previously established for multi-echo techniques and to 129Xe clinical trial consortium recommendations for multi-site trials [15, 28]. Compared to the recommendations, ventilation imaging uses a radial trajectory facilitating acceleration. Diffusion-weighted imaging uses shorter diffusion times to facilitate the estimation of surface-volume ratio. The impact of frequency-selective excitation in fixed-TR dynamic spectroscopy on dissolved-phase ratios is assessed in the supplemental material
