Pulmonary proton MRI techniques offer the unique possibility of assessing lung function and
structure without the requirement for hyperpolarization or dedicated hardware, which is …

The field of proton lung MRI is advancing on a variety of fronts. In the realm of functional
imaging, it is now possible to use arterial spin labeling (ASL) and oxygen‐enhanced …

Lung parenchyma is challenging to image with proton MRI. The large air space results in∼
1/5th as many signal‐generating protons compared to other organs. Air/tissue magnetic …

Among the modalities for lung imaging, proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been
the latest to be introduced into clinical practice. MRI is taking its place as an alternative and …

This is a synopsis from a recently published Fleischner Society Position Paper entitled
“Expanding Applications of Pulmonary MRI in the Clinical Evaluation of Lung Disorders.” 1 …

Pulmonary MRI is challenging because of the low proton density and rapid transverse
relaxation in the lung associated with microscopic magnetic field inhomogeneities caused …

Magnetic susceptibility gradients caused by tissue/air interfaces lead to very short T2* times
in the human lung. These susceptibility gradients are dependent on the magnetic …

Proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently emerged as a clinical tool to image
the lungs. This paper outlines the current technical aspects of MRI pulse sequences …

Changes in lung signal between normal breathing and breathing pure oxygen is the basis
for oxygen-enhanced ventilation MRI. An optimal technique guarantees a significant …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung is a powerful evolving tool for scientific and
clinical application. The key technique for MRI of lung morphology is based on resonant …
