Purpose To test the hypothesis that, in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of healthy
individuals, equal relative changes in lung volume cause equal relative changes in MR …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of ventilatory impairment on MR signal intensity of the lung
parenchyma. Materials and Methods Subjects were five normal volunteers (age= 30±7.9 …

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the capability of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to assess
alteration in regional pulmonary ventilation and perfusion with animal models of airway …

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 …

Purpose To evaluate whether MRI signal and T2* measurements of lung tissue acquired at
ultrashort detection times (tds) can detect emphysematous changes in lungs. Materials and …

Abstract MRI with hyperpolarized helium‐3 (3He) provides high‐resolution imaging of
ventilated airspaces. The first aim of this 3He‐study was to compare observations of …

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of dynamic oxygen‐enhanced
MRI in a clinical setting. We hypothesized that dynamic oxygen enhancement can reflect the …

Poor image quality has severely limited the clinical effectiveness of MR imaging of lung
parenchyma. Recent improvements in imaging gradients and the introduction of phased …

Since lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) became clinically available, limited clinical
utility has been suggested for applying MRI to lung diseases. Moreover, clinical applications …

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to assess the accuracy of MRI for the determination
of lung gas and tissue volumes. Method: Fifteen healthy subjects underwent MRI of the …
