3 He MRI: Preliminary results. Invest Radiol 2001; 36: 110–114. rationale and objectives. To …

Purpose To use a combination of helium‐3 (3‐He) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and
proton single‐shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) to compare ventilated lung volumes in groups of …

This review presents an overview of some recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
techniques for measuring aspects of local physiology in the lung. MRI is noninvasive …

To evaluate impaired respiratory mechanics in pulmonary emphysema, dynamic breathing
magnetic resonance imaging (BMRI) was acquired with fast‐gradient echo pulse sequences …

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 …

Purpose: To assess the emphysematous enlargement of distal airspaces and concomitant
large and small airway disease using diffusion-weighted 3 Helium-magnetic resonance …

Purpose To probe the variation of alveolar size in healthy lung tissue as a function of posture
using diffusion‐weighted helium‐3 hyperpolarized gas imaging. Materials and Methods …

Nonuniform disruption of lung architecture is usually assessed by CT, which carries potential
radiation risk. Here we report our use of a three‐dimensional ultrashort echo time MR …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to show the feasibility of oxygen-enhanced MR
ventilation imaging in a clinical setting with correlation to standard pulmonary function tests …
