Abstract
The U.S. Government is committed to maintaining a robust research program that supports a portfolio of scientific experts who are investigating the biological effects of radiation exposure. On August 17 and 18, 2023, the Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program, within the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health (NIH), partnered with the National Cancer Institute, NIH, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Radiation Injury Treatment Network to convene a workshop titled, Advanced Technologies in Radiation Research (ATRR), which focused on the use of advanced technologies under development or in current use to accelerate radiation research. This meeting report provides a comprehensive overview of the research presented at the workshop, which included an assembly of subject matter experts from government, industry, and academia. Topics discussed during the workshop included assessments of acute and delayed effects of radiation exposure using modalities such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) - based gene editing, tissue chips, advanced computing, artificial intelligence, and immersive imaging techniques. These approaches are being applied to develop products to diagnose and treat radiation injury to the bone marrow, skin, lung, and gastrointestinal tract, among other tissues. The overarching goal of the workshop was to provide an opportunity for the radiation research community to come together to assess the technological landscape through sharing of data, methodologies, and challenges, followed by a guided discussion with all participants. Ultimately, the organizers hope that the radiation research community will benefit from the workshop and seek solutions to scientific questions that remain unaddressed. Understanding existing research gaps and harnessing new or re-imagined tools and methods will allow for the design of studies to advance medical products along the critical path to U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2024:S0360-3016(24)00359-6. [PMID: 38452858 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.02.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Radiation-induced lung injury has been shown to alter regional ventilation and perfusion in the lung. However, changes in regional pulmonary gas exchange have not previously been measured. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten patients receiving conventional radiation therapy (RT) for lung cancer underwent pre-RT and 3-month post-RT magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using an established hyperpolarized 129Xe gas exchange technique to map lung function. Four patients underwent an additional 8-month post-RT MRI. The MR signal from inhaled xenon was measured in the following 3 pulmonary compartments: the lung airspaces, the alveolar membrane tissue, and the pulmonary capillaries (interacting with red blood cells [RBCs]). Thoracic 1H MRI scans were acquired, and deformable registration was used to transfer 129Xe functional maps to the RT planning computed tomography scan. The RT-associated changes in ventilation, membrane uptake, and RBC transfer were computed as a function of regional lung dose (equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions). Pearson correlations and t tests were used to determine statistical significance, and weighted sum of squares linear regression subsequently characterized the dose dependence of each functional component. The pulmonary function testing metrics of forced vital capacity and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide were also acquired at each time point. RESULTS Compared with pre-RT baseline, 3-month post-RT ventilation decreased by an average of -0.24 ± 0.05%/Gy (ρ = -0.88; P < .001), membrane uptake increased by 0.69 ± 0.14%/Gy (ρ = 0.94; P < .001), and RBC transfer decreased by -0.41 ± 0.06%/Gy (ρ = -0.92; P < .001). Membrane uptake maintained a strong positive correlation with regional dose at 8 months post-RT, demonstrating an increase of 0.73 ± 0.11%/Gy (ρ = 0.92; P = .006). Changes in membrane uptake and RBC transfer appeared greater in magnitude (%/Gy) for individuals with low heterogeneity in their baseline lung function. An increase in whole-lung membrane uptake showed moderate correlation with decreases in forced vital capacity (ρ = -0.50; P = .17) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (ρ = -0.44; P = .23), with neither correlation reaching statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI measured and quantified regional, RT-associated, dose-dependent changes in pulmonary gas exchange. This tool could enable future work to improve our understanding and management of radiation-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Although critical for development of novel therapies, understanding altered lung function in disease models is challenging because the transport and diffusion of gases over short distances, on which proper function relies, is not readily visualized. In this review we summarize progress introducing hyperpolarized 129Xe imaging as a method to follow these processes in vivo. The work is organized in sections highlighting methods to observe the gas replacement effects of breathing (Gas Dynamics during the Breathing Cycle) and gas diffusion throughout the parenchymal airspaces (3). We then describe the spectral signatures indicative of gas dissolution and uptake (4), and how these features can be used to follow the gas as it enters the tissue and capillary bed, is taken up by hemoglobin in the red blood cells (5), re-enters the gas phase prior to exhalation (6), or is carried via the vasculature to other organs and body structures (7). We conclude with a discussion of practical imaging and spectroscopy techniques that deliver quantifiable metrics despite the small size, rapid motion and decay of signal and coherence characteristic of the magnetically inhomogeneous lung in preclinical models (8).

Abstract
Currently, alpha-emitting radionuclide 225Ac is one of the most promising isotopes in alpha therapy due to its high linear energy transfer during four sequential alpha decays. However, the main obstacle preventing the full introduction of 225Ac into clinical practice is the lack of stable retention of radionuclides, leading to free circulation of toxic isotopes in the body. In this work, the surface of silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) has been modified with metallic shells composed of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and gold (Au) nanostructures to improve the retention of 225Ac and its decay products within the developed nanocarriers. In vitro and in vivo studies in healthy mice show that the metallic surface coating of SiO2 NPs promotes an enhanced sequestering of radionuclides (225Ac and its daughter isotopes) compared to non-modified SiO2 NPs for a prolonged period of time. Histological analysis reveals that for the period of 3-10 d after the injections, the developed nanocarriers have no significant toxic effects in mice. At the same time, almost no accumulation of leaked radionuclides can be detected in non-target organs (e.g., in the kidneys). In contrast, non-modified carriers (SiO2 NPs) demonstrate the release of free radionuclides, which are distributed over the whole animal body with the consequent morphological changes in the lung, liver and kidney tissues. These results highlight the potential of the developed nanocarriers to be utilized as radionuclide delivery systems and offer an insight into design rules for the fabrication of new nanotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of 129 Xe chemical shift saturation recovery (CSSR) combined with spiral-IDEAL imaging for simultaneous measurement of the time-course of red blood cell (RBC) and brain tissue signals in the rat brain. METHODS Images of both the RBC and brain tissue 129 Xe signals from the brains of five rats were obtained using interleaved spiral-IDEAL imaging following chemical shift saturation pulses applied at multiple CSSR delay times, τ. A linear fit of the signals to τ was used to calculate the slope of the signal for both RBC and brain tissue compartments on a voxel-by-voxel basis. Gas transfer was evaluated by measuring the ratio of the whole brain tissue-to-RBC signal intensities as a function of τ. To investigate the relationship between the CSSR images and gas transfer in the brain, the experiments were repeated during hypercapnic ventilation. RESULTS Hypercapnia, affected the ratio of the tissue-to-RBC signal intensity (p = 0.026), consistent with an increase in gas transfer. CONCLUSION CSSR with spiral-IDEAL imaging is feasible for acquisition of 129 Xe RBC and brain tissue time-course images in the rat brain. Differences in the time-course of the signal intensity ratios are consistent with gas transfer changes expected under hypercapnic conditions.

Abstract
Actinium-225 (225Ac) radiolabeled submicrometric core-shell particles (SPs) made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) coated with biocompatible polymers [tannic acid-human serum albumin (TA/HSA)] have been developed to improve the efficiency of local α-radionuclide therapy in melanoma models (B16-F10 tumor-bearing mice). The developed 225Ac-SPs possess radiochemical stability and demonstrate effective retention of 225Ac and its daughter isotopes. The SPs have been additionally labeled with zirconium-89 (89Zr) to perform the biodistribution studies using positron emission tomography-computerized tomography (PET/CT) imaging for 14 days after intratumoral injection. According to the PET/CT analysis, a significant accumulation of 89Zr-SPs in the tumor area is revealed for the whole investigation period, which correlates with the direct radiometry analysis after intratumoral administration of 225Ac-SPs. The histological analysis has revealed no abnormal changes in healthy tissue organs after treatment with 225Ac-SPs (e.g., no acute pathologic findings are detected in the liver and kidneys). At the same time, the inhibition of tumor growth has been observed as compared with control samples [nonradiolabeled SPs and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)]. The treatment of mice with 225Ac-SPs has resulted in prolonged survival compared to the control samples. Thus, our study validates the application of 225Ac-doped core-shell submicron CaCO3 particles for local α-radionuclide therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the dependence of dissolved 129 Xe chemical shift on the fraction of inhaled oxygen, Fi O2 , in the lungs of healthy rats. METHODS The chemical shifts of 129 Xe dissolved in red blood cells, δRBC , and blood plasma and/or tissue, δPlasma , were measured using MRS in 12 Sprague Dawley rats mechanically ventilated at Fi O2 values of 0.14, 0.19, and 0.22. Regional effects on the chemical shifts were controlled using a chemical shift saturation recovery sequence with a fixed delay time. MRS was also performed at an Fi CO2 value of 0.085 to investigate the potential effect of the vascular response on δRBC and δPlasma . RESULTS δRBC increased with decreasing Fi O2 (P = .0002), and δPlasma showed no dependence on Fi O2 (P = .23). δRBC at Fi CO2 = 0 (210.7 ppm ± 0.1) and at Fi CO2 = 0.085 (210.6 ppm ± 0.2) were not significantly different (P = .67). δPlasma at Fi CO2 = 0 (196.9 ppm ± 0.3) and at Fi CO2 = 0.085 (197.0 ppm ± 0.1) were also not significantly different (P = .81). CONCLUSION Rat lung δRBC showed an inverse relationship to Fi O2 , opposite to the relationship previously demonstrated for in vitro human blood. Rat lung δRBC did not depend on Fi CO2 .

Abstract
Despite magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being a mainstay in the oncologic care for many disease sites, it has not routinely been used in early lung cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment. While MRI provides improved soft tissue contrast compared to computed tomography (CT), an advantage in multiple organs, the physical properties of the lungs and mediastinum create unique challenges for lung MRI. Although multi-detector CT remains the gold standard for lung imaging, advances in MRI technology have led to its increased clinical relevance in evaluating early stage lung cancer. Even though positron emission tomography is used more frequently in this context, functional MR imaging, including diffusion-weighted MRI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, are emerging as useful modalities for both diagnosis and evaluation of treatment response for lung cancer. In parallel with these advances, the development of combined MRI and linear accelerator devices (MR-linacs), has spurred the integration of MRI into radiation treatment delivery in the form of MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT). Despite challenges for MRgRT in early stage lung cancer radiotherapy, early data utilizing MR-linacs shows potential for the treatment of early lung cancer. In both diagnosis and treatment, MRI is a promising modality for imaging early lung cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To measure regional changes in hyperpolarized 129 Xe MRI signal and apparent transverse relaxation ( T 2 ∗ ) because of instillation of SPION-labeled alveolar-like macrophages (ALMs) in the lungs of rats and compare to histology. METHODS MRI was performed in 6 healthy mechanically ventilated rats before instillation, as well as 5 min and 1 h after instillation of 4 million SPION-labeled ALMs into either the left or right lung. T 2 ∗ maps were calculated from 2D multi-echo data at each time point and changes in T 2 ∗ were measured and compared to control rats receiving 4 million unlabeled ALMs. Histology of the ex vivo lungs was used to compare the regional MRI findings with the locations of the SPION-labeled ALMs. RESULTS Regions of signal loss were observed immediately after instillation of unlabeled and SPION-labeled ALMs and persisted at least 1 h in the case of the SPION-labeled ALMs. This was reflected in the measurements of T 2 ∗ . One hour after the instillation of SPION-labeled ALMs, the T 2 ∗ decreased to 54.0 ± 7.0% of the baseline, compared to a full recovery to baseline after the instillation of unlabeled ALMs. Histology confirmed the co-localization of SPION-labeled ALMs with regions of signal loss and T 2 ∗ decreases for each rat. CONCLUSION Hyperpolarized 129 Xe MRI can detect the presence of SPION-labeled ALMs in the airways 1 h after instillation. This approach is promising for targeting and tracking of stem cells for the treatment of lung disease.

Using Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MRI to Quantify Early-Stage Lung Disease in Smokers. Acad Radiol 2019; 26:355-366. [PMID: 30522808 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2018.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2018] [Revised: 09/04/2018] [Accepted: 11/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Hyperpolarized xenon-129 magnetic resonance (MR) provides sensitive tools that may detect early stages of lung disease in smokers before it has progressed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) apparent to conventional spirometric measures. We hypothesized that the functional alveolar wall thickness as assessed by hyperpolarized xenon-129 MR spectroscopy would be elevated in clinically healthy smokers before xenon MR diffusion measurements would indicate emphysematous tissue destruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using hyperpolarized xenon-129 MR we measured the functional septal wall thickness and apparent diffusion coefficient of the gas phase in 16 subjects with smoking-related COPD, 9 clinically healthy current or former smokers, and 10 healthy never smokers. All subjects were age-matched and characterized by conventional pulmonary function tests. A total of 11 data sets from younger healthy never smokers were added to determine the age dependence of the septal wall thickness measurements. RESULTS In healthy never smokers the septal wall thickness increased by 0.04 μm per year of age. The healthy smoker cohort exhibited normal pulmonary function test measures that did not significantly differ from the never-smoker cohort. The age-corrected septal wall thickness correlated well with diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (R2 = 0.56) and showed a highly significant difference between healthy subjects and COPD patients (8.8 μm vs 12.3 μm; p < 0.001), but was the only measure that actually discriminated healthy subjects from healthy smokers (8.8 μm vs 10.6 μm; p < 0.006). CONCLUSION Functional alveolar wall thickness assessed by hyperpolarized xenon-129 MR allows discrimination between healthy subjects and healthy smokers and could become a powerful new measure of early-stage lung disease.

Abstract
While hyperpolarized xenon-129 (HXe) MRI offers a wide array of tools for assessing functional aspects of the lung, existing techniques provide only limited quantitative information about the impact of an observed pathology on overall lung function. By selectively destroying the alveolar HXe gas phase magnetization in a volume of interest and monitoring the subsequent decrease in the signal from xenon dissolved in the blood inside the left ventricle of the heart, it is possible to directly measure the contribution of that saturated lung volume to the gas transport capacity of the entire lung. In mechanically ventilated rabbits, we found that both xenon gas transport and transport efficiency exhibited a gravitation-induced anterior-to-posterior gradient that disappeared or reversed direction, respectively, when the animal was turned from supine to prone position. Further, posterior ventilation defects secondary to acute lung injury could be re-inflated by applying positive end expiratory pressure, although at the expense of decreased gas transport efficiency in the anterior volumes. These findings suggest that our technique might prove highly valuable for evaluating lung transplants and lung resections, and could improve our understanding of optimal mechanical ventilator settings in acute lung injury.

Abstract
Purpose To perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), human lung imaging, and quantification of the gas-transfer dynamics of hyperpolarized xenon-129 (HPX) from the alveoli into the blood plasma. Materials and methods HPX MRI with iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-square estimation (IDEAL) approach were used with multi-interleaved spiral k-space sampling to obtain HPX gas and dissolved phase images. IDEAL time-series images were then obtained from ten subjects including six normal subjects and four patients with pulmonary emphysema to test the feasibility of the proposed technique for capturing xenon-129 gas-transfer dynamics (XGTD). The dynamics of xenon gas diffusion over the entire lung was also investigated by measuring the signal intensity variations between three regions of interest, including the left and right lungs and the heart using Welch’s t test. Results The technique enabled the acquisition of HPX gas and dissolved phase compartment images in a single breath-hold interval of 8 s. The y-intersect of the XGTD curves were also found to be statistically lower in the patients with lung emphysema than in the healthy group (p < 0.05). Conclusion This time-series IDEAL technique enables the visualization and quantification of inhaled xenon from the alveoli to the left ventricle with a clinical gradient strength magnet during a single breath-hold, in healthy and diseased lungs. Key Points • The proposed hyperpolarized xenon-129 gas and dissolved magnetic resonance imaging technique can provide regional and temporal measurements of xenon-129 gas-transfer dynamics. • Quantitative measurement of xenon-129 gas-transfer dynamics from the alveolar to the heart was demonstrated in normal subjects and pulmonary emphysema. • Comparison of gas-transfer dynamics in normal subjects and pulmonary emphysema showed that the proposed technique appears sensitive to changes affecting the alveoli, pulmonary interstitium, and capillaries.

Abstract
PURPOSE A novel technique is presented for retrospective estimation and removal of gas-phase hyperpolarized Xenon-129 (HP 129 Xe) from images of HP 129 Xe dissolved in the barrier (comprised of parenchymal lung tissue and blood plasma) and red blood cell (RBC) phases. The primary aim is mitigating RF pulse performance limitations on measures of gas exchange (e.g., barrier-gas and RBC-gas ratios). Correction for gas contamination would simplify technical dissemination of HP 129 Xe applications across sites with varying hardware performance, scanner vendors, and models. METHODS Digital lung phantom and human subject experiments (N = 8 healthy; N = 1 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) were acquired with 3D radial trajectory and 1-point Dixon spectroscopic imaging to assess the correction method for mitigating barrier and RBC imaging artifacts. Dependence of performance on TE, image SNR, and gas contamination level were characterized. Inter- and intra-subject variation in the dissolved-phase ratios were quantified and compared to human subject experiments before and after correction. RESULTS Gas contamination resulted in image artifacts similar to those in disease that were mitigated after correction in both simulated and human subject data; for simulation experiments performance varied with TE, but was independent of image SNR and the amount of gas contamination. Artifacts and variation of barrier and RBC components were reduced after correction in both simulation and healthy human lungs (barrier, P = 0.01; RBC, P = 0.045). CONCLUSION The proposed technique significantly reduced regional variations in barrier and RBC ratios, separated using a 1-point Dixon approach, with improved accuracy of dissolved-phase HP 129 Xe images confirmed in simulation experiments.

Magn Reson Med 2018; 80:2374-2383.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyperpolarized 129 Xe MRI depicting 3D ventilation, interstitial barrier uptake, and transfer to red blood cells (RBCs) has emerged as a powerful new means of detecting pulmonary disease. However, given the challenging susceptibility environment of the lung, such gas transfer imaging has, thus far, only been implemented at 1.5T. Here, we seek to demonstrate the feasibility of Dixon-based 129 Xe gas transfer MRI at 3T. METHODS Seven healthy subjects and six patients with pulmonary disorders were recruited to characterize 129 Xe spectral structure, optimize acquisition parameters, and acquire representative images. Imaging used randomized, gradient-spoiled 3D-radial encoding of 1000 gas (0.5° flip) and dissolved (20° flip) views, reconstructed into 3-mm isotropic voxels. The center of k-space was sampled when barrier and RBC compartments were 90° out of phase (TE90 ). A single dissolved phase spectrum was appended to the sequence to measure the global RBC-barrier ratio for Dixon-based decomposition. RESULTS A 0.69 ms sinc was found to generate minimal off-resonance gas-phase excitation (3.0 ± 0.3% of the dissolved-phase), yielding a TE90 = 0.47 ± 0.02 ms. The RBC and barrier resonance frequencies were shifted by 217.6 ± 0.6 ppm and 197.8 ± 0.2 ppm. The RBCT 2 * was estimated to be ∼1.1 ms, and therefore each read-out was limited to 1.3 ms. 129 Xe gas and dissolved-phase images have sufficient SNR to produce gas transfer maps of similar quality and sensitivity to pathology, as previously obtained at 1.5T. CONCLUSIONS Despite short dissolved-phaseT 2 * , 129 Xe gas transfer MRI is feasible at 3T.
