Key points Pulmonary perfusion measurement using magnetic resonance imaging
combined with deformable image registration enabled us to quantify the change in the …

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of lung perfusion imaging using two‐dimensional
(2D) first pass perfusion MRI and a quantitation program based on model‐independent …

Since the lung receives the entire cardiac output, sophisticated imaging techniques are not
required in order to measure total organ perfusion. However, for many years studying lung …

The Zone model of pulmonary perfusion predicts that exercise reduces perfusion
heterogeneity because increased vascular pressure redistributes flow to gravitationally …

Global fluctuation dispersion (FDglobal), a spatial-temporal metric derived from serial
images of the pulmonary perfusion obtained with MRI-arterial spin labeling, describes …

Normal aging is associated with a decline in pulmonary function and efficiency of gas
exchange, although the effects on the spatial distribution of pulmonary perfusion are poorly …

Objectives: We sought to assess the agreement between lung perfusion ratios calculated
from pulmonary perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and those calculated from …

This study was undertaken to assess the influence of gravity on the distribution of pulmonary
blood flow (PBF) using increased inertial force as a perturbation. PBF was studied in …

In vivo radioactive tracer and microsphere studies have differing conclusions as to the
magnitude of the gravitational effect on the distribution of pulmonary blood flow. We …

There is a gravitational influence on pulmonary perfusion, including in the most dependent
lung, where perfusion is reduced, termed Zone 4. Studies using xenon‐133 show Zone 4 …
