With advances in multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT), it is now possible to
image the lung in 10 s or less and accurately extract the lungs, lobes, and airway tree to the …

In vivo lung micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is being increasingly embraced in
pulmonary research because it provides longitudinal information on dynamic disease …

During breathing, lung inflation is a dynamic process involving a balance of mechanical
factors, including trans-pulmonary pressure gradients, tissue compliance and airway …

Objectives The individual course of disease in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is highly
variable. Assessment of disease activity and prospective estimation of disease progression …

This review focuses on the state‐of‐the‐art of the three major classes of gas contrast agents
used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—hyperpolarized (HP) gas, molecular oxygen …

Chronic airways diseases, including asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis, cause significant
morbidity and mortality and are associated with high healthcare expenditure, in the UK and …

The role of imaging as a tool for investigating lung physiology is growing at an accelerating
pace. Looking forward, we wished to identify unresolved issues in lung physiology that might …

Rationale and Objectives The longitudinal relationship between regional air trapping and
emphysema remains unexplored. We have sought to demonstrate the utility of parametric …

Background Imaging of the lung by MRI is challenging due to the intrinsic low proton density
and rapid T2* relaxation. MRI methods providing lung parenchyma and function are in …

Purpose To develop a radiomics filtering technique for characterizing spatial‐encoded
regional pulmonary ventilation information on lung computed tomography (CT). Methods …
