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

Objective To determine the feasibility of using high-resolution volumetric zero echo time
(ZTE) sequence in routine lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and compare free …

Purpose To evaluate the anatomical details offered by a new single breath‐hold ultrafast 3D
balanced steady‐state free precession (uf‐bSSFP) sequence in comparison to low‐dose …

Purpose Since real-time 4D dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) methods with
adequate spatial and temporal resolution for imaging the pediatric thorax are currently not …

Background Ultrashort echo time (UTE) proton MRI has gained popularity for assessing lung
structure and function in pulmonary imaging; however, the development of rapid biomarker …

Imaging with hyperpolarized 3‐helium is becoming an increasingly important technique for
MRI diagnostics of the lung but is hampered by long breath holds (> 20 sec), which are not …

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 …

Purpose Same‐breath acquisition of 1H and hyperpolarized gases (3He and 129Xe) in the
lungs provides complementary information on pulmonary structure and function with …

The purpose of this work was to develop a 3D radial‐sampling strategy which maintains
uniform k‐space sample density after retrospective respiratory gating, and demonstrate its …

Purpose To implement pulmonary three‐dimensional (3D) radial ultrashort echo‐time (UTE)
MRI in non‐sedated, free‐breathing neonates and adults with retrospective motion tracking …
