The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of respiratory phase on signal intensity
of the lung. Lung images were obtained from eleven healthy human volunteers using a …

Abstract Evaluation of lung pathologies using magnetic resonance imaging remains limited,
primarily due to the lung's low proton density and high density of magnetic field susceptibility …

The feasibility of MR subtraction imaging of lung ventilation using air against oxygen using a
multiple inversion recovery half‐Fourier single‐shot turbo spin echo (MIR‐HASTE) …

Objective: To evaluate the utility of a half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo sequence
(HASTE) at depicting lung parenchyma and lung pathology. Methods and patients: A HASTE …

Abstract 1H magnetic resonance imaging of the lung is hampered by the low contrast
between lung parenchyma, and muscle and fat in the thorax. We show that it is possible to …

The unique characteristics of the human lung arising from low proton density and multiple air-
tissue interfaces of the alveoli cause difficulty in 1 H lung magnetic resonance imaging. In …

The aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility and limitations of two MR sequences for
imaging of the lung using a semi-quantitative rating scale. Ten healthy volunteers were …

A cardiac‐triggered half‐Fourier single‐shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) technique is currently
the method of choice for MR imaging of the lung parenchyma without the use of exogenous …

The behavior of the signal intensity in MRI of human lungs was investigated during
inhalation of pure oxygen. Nine volunteers were examined, five using a breath‐hold and …

Purpose To demonstrate the influence of inversion pulse type and inversion time for
assessment of oxygen‐enhancement on centrically‐reordered non‐slice‐selective inversion …
