• Dynamic xenon MRI allows for the non-invasive detection and measurement of delayed ventilation in COPD patients. • Dynamic xenon MRI during a free breathing cycle can provide unique information about pulmonary physiology and pulmonary disease pathophysiology. • With further validation, dynamic xenon MRI could offer a non-invasive way of measuring collateral ventilation which can then be used to guide lung volume reduction therapy (LVRT) for certain COPD patients.
