LUNGS MRI
A TIME AGO I HAVE HEARD ABOUT A CERTAIN GAS ( WITH A KIND OF SPECIAL POLARITY ) THAT MAKES THE MR OF THE LUNGS REALLY BETTER WITH THE PATIENT HOLDING HIS BREATH WITH IT INSIDE.
ANY NEWS ABOUT IT ?

You are right! It is called the hyperpolarized nobel gases, mostly Helium-3 and Xenon-129. They are many centers around the world are conducting such experiments. Many techniques using the gas have been developed to investigate pulmonary pathphysiological changes such as ventilation, diffusion, elastis, etc. As an example, you can go the below link for detailed information:

the people you are looking for are the Duke CIVM, they are the real experts who pioneered hyperpolarized gas imaging of the lungs and hold all relevant patents to it.

I think Superman should go on the Larry King show and announce that he would come back to life if people in all 50 states wanted him to.
