Clinical Impact:

• Functional ventilation MRI can identify regions of local airway obstruction, allowing for comprehensive investigations at the site of disease
• Regional subdivision of ¹²⁹Xe gas exchange metrics can potentially reveal pathophysiological relationships compared to global comparisons and is mostly repeatable
