Lung MRI makes it possible to replace up to 90% of CT examinations with radiation-free
magnetic resonance diagnostics of the lungs without suffering any diagnostic loss. The …

Clinical imaging of the lung is dominated by computed tomography (CT) and X-ray for the
assessment of tissue morphology, and by nuclear imaging for the assessment of metabolism …

Purpose To evaluate the benefit of the PROPELLER technique (Periodically Rotated
Overlapping ParallEL Lines with Enhanced Reconstruction, MultiVane, MV) for MR imaging …

Background and purpose The superior soft-tissue contrast of 4D-T2w MRI motivates its use
for delineation in radiotherapy treatment planning. We address current limitations of slice …

We describe the design and operation of an open-access, very-low-field, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) system for in vivo hyperpolarized 3He imaging of the human …

Emphysema is a life‐threatening pathology that causes irreversible destruction of alveolar
walls. In vivo imaging techniques play a fundamental role in the early non‐invasive pre …

Spiral imaging has a number of advantages for fast imaging, including an efficient use of
gradient hardware. However, inhomogeneity‐induced blurring is proportional to the data …

Purpose To investigate the efficacy of a novel respiratory motion scheme, where only the
center of k‐space is gated using respiratory navigators, versus a fully respiratory‐gated …

Obtaining functional information on the human lung is of tremendous interest in the
characterization of lung defects and pathologies. However, pulmonary ventilation and …

A fully automatic and highly efficient free‐breathing navigator gated technique, continuously
adaptive windowing strategy (CLAWS), is presented. Using a novel and dynamic acquisition …
