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

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

Purpose To assess the feasibility and optimize the accuracy of the multibreath wash-in
hyperpolarized helium 3 (3He) approach to ventilation measurement by using magnetic …

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

Purpose To assess regional differences in quantitative pulmonary perfusion parameters, ie,
pulmonary blood flow (PBF), mean transit time (MTT), and pulmonary blood volume (PBV) in …

Pulmonary edema was produced in four anesthetized dogs by saline lavage. The animals
were maintained by assisted ventilation with O 2/halothane and examined by a nuclear …
