Systemic delivery across the oronasal route is investigated for a growing number of indications. Final drug distribution in the lung strongly depends on a variety of parameters like the aerosol administration protocol, particle size, density, and physicochemical properties, as well as the airway geometry. Quantification and spatial localization are of critical importance to better control and optimize drug deposition. Hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI has been developed as a powerful tool to quantitatively characterize the lung function and morphology. We present a new imaging modality developed on the grounds of hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI to probe SPIOs labeled aerosols in vivo,in rat lungs.
