Summary of inhalation and breath-hold approaches

Breath Hold Free Breathing/Gated
CT
    Inspiration/expiration No
    Xe CT Gated to controlled or trained breathing
    Dual energy Xe CT Fixed volume inhalation for single breath method Gated to controlled or trained breathing
    Dynamic (4DCT) No Tidal breathing
MRI
    Hyperpolarized Xe/He Fixed volume dose from FRC or RV Inhalation and exhalation dynamic possible
    O2-enhanced 1H No Tidal breathing
    1H-UTE Fixed volume inhalation from FRC or RV No
    4D (FD) 1H No Tidal breathing

CT, computed tomography; UTE, ultrashort echo time; FD, Fourier decomposition.
