Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung is technically challenging due to the low
proton density and fast signal decay of the lung parenchyma itself. Additional challenges …

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

PURPOSE: To determine differences in the signal intensity (SI) time courses at oxygen-
enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) lung imaging in healthy volunteers and patients with …

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 …

Purpose To test the feasibility of regional fully quantitative ventilation measurement in free
breathing derived by phase‐resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI in the supine and …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The authors assessed the progression of pulmonary
emphysema by means of quantitative analysis of computed tomography images. METHODS …

Imaging of the pulmonary parenchyma represents a unique challenge for MRI. Limited
signal is caused by low proton density, susceptibility artifacts, and physiological motion …

Purpose To measure the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) after inhalation of
hyperpolarized 3He in healthy volunteers and lung transplant recipients, and demonstrate …

The objective of this study was to measure T2∗ values of the normal human lung in vivo
during breathhold using a rapid gradient-echo sequence with ultra-short echo times (TE). A …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relationship between measurements of
lung volume (LV) on inspiratory/expiratory computed tomography (CT) scans, pulmonary …
