To evaluate the potential of MRI for differentiating the various causes of pulmonary
consolidation, 16 patients with known airspace diseases were imaged, and T1 and T2 …

Objective: The clinical feasibility of oxygen-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of
the lung may benefit from the use of a simple gas delivery method. In this study, the oxygen …

Rationale and Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate a method for quantifying
lung motion from the registration of successive images in serial magnetic resonance …

Over the past few years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an important
instrument for functional ventilation imaging. The aim of this review is to summarize …

The apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) of hyperpolarized 3He and 129Xe gases were
measured in the lungs of rabbits with elastase-induced emphysema and correlated against …

Spirometry is today the gold standard technique for assessing pulmonary ventilatory function
in humans. From the shape of a flow-volume loop measured while the patient is performing …

A new strategy for a quantitative measurement of regional pulmonary ventilation using
hyperpolarized helium‐3 (3He) MRI has been developed. The method employs the build‐up …

Abstract 1H magnetic resonance imaging of the lung is hampered by the low contrast
between lung parenchyma, and muscle and fat in the thorax. We show that it is possible to …

Background Noninvasive monitoring of early abnormalities and therapeutic intervention in
cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease using MRI is important. Lung T1 mapping has shown …

Background A previous study demonstrated the feasibility of using 3D radial ultrashort echo
time (UTE) oxygen‐enhanced MRI (UTE OE‐MRI) for functional imaging of healthy human …
