“Lung perfusion” in the context of imaging conventionally refers to the delivery of blood to the
pulmonary capillary bed through the pulmonary arteries originating from the right ventricle …

Beyond being a substitute for X-ray, computed tomography, and scintigraphy, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) inherently combines morphologic and functional information more …

With the development of various models of pulmonary disease, there is tremendous interest
in quantitative regional assessment of pulmonary function. While ventilation imaging has …

Purpose Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for quantitative evaluation of pulmonary
perfusion and has shown high clinical usefulness for the evaluation and differentiation of …

Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) describing pulmonary perfusion. However, breathing motion …

Objectives: We sought to assess the agreement between lung perfusion ratios calculated
from pulmonary perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and those calculated from …

Purpose To determine the appropriate concentration for quantitative assessment of dynamic
contrast‐enhanced pulmonary MR imaging. Materials and Methods A total of 40 consecutive …

Recent advances in magnetic resonance pulmonary perfusion imaging are reviewed,
focusing on magnetic resonance perfusion imaging using gadolinium contrasts agents or …

Purpose To determine whether the injection rate of contrast agent affects the dynamics of
enhancement of the pulmonary parenchyma on magnetic resonance (MR) pulmonary …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate whether quantification of pulmonary
