[1] [2] 129 Xe is a stable, naturally occurring isotope of xenon with 26.44% isotope abundance. It is one of two Xe isotopes, along with 131 Xe, that has non-zero spin, which allows for magnetic resonance. 129 Xe is used for MRI because its large electron cloud permits hyperpolarization and a wide range of chemical shifts
In terms of detecting ventilation defects, 129 Xe has a lower signal-to-noise ratio but is more sensitive to defects due to its higher density and lower diffusivity. [30] Currently, using a larger volume of 129 Xe (up to 1 liter per scan) can compensate for its decreased signal-to-noise ratio compared to 3He (usually 0.1-0.3 liters per scan).

129 Xe was derived from the extinct nuclide of iodine, iodine-129 or 129 I (with a half-life of 15.7 Million years, or Myr), which can be used in iodine-xenon (I-Xe) dating. The production of 129 Xe stopped within about 100 Myr after the start of the Solar System because 129 I became extinct. [1]
Naturally occurring xenon (54 Xe) consists of seven stable isotopes and two very long-lived isotopes. Double electron capture has been observed in 124 Xe (half-life 1.8 ± 0.5(stat) ± 0.1(sys) × 10 22 years) [2] and double beta decay in 136 Xe (half-life 2.165 ± 0.016(stat) ± 0.059(sys) × 10 21 years), [7] which are among the longest measured half-lives of all nuclides.
Biosensors International Group, Ltd. is a medical device company that specializes in developing, manufacturing and licensing technologies for use in interventional cardiology procedures and critical care. The company was listed on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in May 2005.
The xenon atom trapped in the fullerene can be observed by 129 Xe nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Through the sensitive chemical shift of the xenon atom to its environment, chemical reactions on the fullerene molecule can be analyzed. These observations are not without caveat, however, because the xenon atom has an electronic ...
Xenon-enhanced CT scanning is a method of computed tomography (CT scanning) used for neuroimaging in which the subject inhales xenon gas while CT images are made. [1] The method can be used to assess changes in cerebral blood flow in the period shortly after a traumatic brain injury , [ 1 ] or to detect or indicate the location of a stroke. [ 2 ]
