Purpose To determine the appropriate concentration for quantitative assessment of dynamic
contrast‐enhanced pulmonary MR imaging. Materials and Methods A total of 40 consecutive …

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

Development of pulmonary function assessment techniques with proton MRI causes well-
known problems because of a sponge-like structure and low proton density of the lung. A …

Background Detection of pulmonary perfusion defects is the recommended approach for
diagnosing chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). This is currently …

For sensitive diagnosis and monitoring of pulmonary disease, ionizing radiation‐free
imaging methods are of great importance. A noncontrast and free‐breathing proton …

Purpose To demonstrate the initial feasibility of non-contrast quantitative pulmonary
perfusion imaging at 3 T using flow alternating inversion recovery (FAIR), and to evaluate …

Background In respiratory medicine, there is a need for sensitive measures of regional lung
function that can be performed using standard imaging technology, without the need for …

Background Ventilation‐weighted Fourier decomposition‐MRI (FD‐MRI) has matured as a
reliable technique for quantitative measures of regional lung ventilation in recent years, but …

INTRODUCTION: The investigation of pulmonary perfusion by three-dimensional (3D)
dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) was proposed …

Background The translation of phase‐resolved functional lung (PREFUL)‐MRI to routine
practice in monitoring chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) still …
