In this study, the effect of lung volume on quantitative measures of lung ventilation was
investigated using MRI with hyperpolarized 3He and 129Xe. Six volunteers were imaged …

Rationale and Objectives: To investigate diaphragm and chest wall motion during the whole
breathing cycle using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a volumetric model in …

Purpose To determine the effect of respiratory phase on the T1 values of the entire lung.
Materials and Methods We calculated T1 relaxation time on a pixel‐by‐pixel analysis of a …

Background Chronic lung diseases are a major issue in public health. A serial pulmonary
assessment using imaging techniques free of ionizing radiation and which provides early …

Respiratory motion and pulsatile blood flow can generate artifacts in morphological and
functional lung imaging. Total acquisition time, and thus the achievable signal to noise ratio …

Objective: To obtain T2* and proton density measurements of normal human lung
parenchyma in vivo using submillisecond echo time (TE) gradient echo (GRE) magnetic …

Purpose To introduce a method based on multivolume proton (hydrogen [1H]) magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging for the regional assessment of lung ventilatory function …

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 …

Materials and methods: Nine healthy volunteers underwent 2-dimensional spoiled gradient
echo imaging in coronal and sagittal planes during FVC maneuvers. An elliptical model of …

Purpose Exercise‐induced dyspnea caused by lung water is an early heart failure symptom.
Dynamic lung water quantification during exercise is therefore of interest to detect early …
