Purpose To measure regional specific ventilation with free-breathing hydrogen 1 (1H)
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging without exogenous contrast material and to investigate …

Purpose To further validate the ability of ultrashort echo‐time (UTE) magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) in quantifying lung density in patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Inhaled hyperpolarized 3He magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging has been used to measure alveolar size in patients with emphysema. The aim of …

The aim of this study was to improve the understanding of interdependencies of dynamic
changes in central airway dimensions, lung area and lung density on HRCT. The HRCT …

Inflated lung has a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) free-induction decay (FID) which is
short compared with that of collapsed lung and those of other body tissues. An almost …

Purpose To determine the reproducibility of several parameters of the ADC measurement by
calculating the scan‐to‐scan intrasubject variability. Materials and Methods Measurements …

The purpose of this work was to assess the reproducibility of percentage of ventilated lung
volume (PV) measured from hyperpolarized (HP) 3He and 1H anatomical images acquired …

This paper describes imaging of lung function with oxygen-enhanced MRI using dynamically
acquired T 1 parameter maps, which allows an accurate, quantitative assessment of time …

In this work MRI‐based spirometry is presented as a method for noninvasively assessing
pulmonary mechanical function on a regional basis. A SPAMM tagging sequence was …

The aim of this paper is to review the present status of novel MRI techniques as a new
important instrument for functional ventilation imaging. The current status and future …
