Purpose A magnetic resonance imaging method is presented that allows for the
simultaneous assessment of oxygen delivery, oxygen uptake, and parenchymal density. The …

Objective To demonstrate the feasibility of proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
ventilation–related maps in rodents for the evaluation of lung function in the presence of …

Ultrashort echo time (550 μs) MR imaging was implemented to track the emphysema
development in mice lung challenged with elastase. Two parameters, namely, signal …

Purpose To evaluate whether MRI signal and T2* measurements of lung tissue acquired at
ultrashort detection times (tds) can detect emphysematous changes in lungs. Materials and …

Purpose To test the hypothesis that, in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of healthy
individuals, equal relative changes in lung volume cause equal relative changes in MR …

Pulmonary emphysema is a pathologic condition characterized by permanently enlarged
airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole with destruction of the alveolar walls. Functional …

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of dynamic oxygen‐enhanced
MRI in a clinical setting. We hypothesized that dynamic oxygen enhancement can reflect the …

Animal disease models are pivotal in investigating the pathogenesis of emphysema and
developing novel drugs, but the modalities to evaluate murine emphysema models have …

Background Chronic lung diseases are a major issue in public health. A serial pulmonary
assessment using imaging techniques free of ionizing radiation and which provides early …

Over the past few years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an important
instrument for functional ventilation imaging. The aim of this review is to summarize …
