The purpose of this study was to validate water content measurements and to determine the
T2 distribution in lung on a 1.5 T clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. A …

Purpose: To validate a fast gradient echo sequence for rapid (9 s) quantitative imaging of
lung water. Materials and Methods: Eleven excised pig lungs were imaged with a fast GRE …

The use of magnetic resonance (MR) to evaluate lung water is made difficult by several
factors: paucity of proton signal from normal lung, respiratory and cardiac motion, and long …

Pulmonary edema was produced in four anesthetized dogs by saline lavage. The animals
were maintained by assisted ventilation with O 2/halothane and examined by a nuclear …

The present study was designed to determine the value of nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) imaging as a technique for quantifying lung water distribution and to estimate the …

The aim of this study was to develop a magnetic resonance (MR) sequence capable of
measuring water content and the gravity-dependent gradient in lung density in normal lung …

An accurate, non-invasive means of measuring pulmonary water is desirable, for both
clinical and research use. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is theoretically very suitable …

NMR imaging techniques are applicable to the assessment of lung water content and
distribution because the NMR signal is, under certain conditions, proportional to tissue …

Purpose To evaluate lung water density at three different levels of lung inflation in normal
lungs using a fast gradient echo sequence developed for rapid imaging. Materials and …

We have developed a new analytical method that uses nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
imaging data to quantify lung water content and distribution. This new method generates a …
