The T1 values of lung parenchyma of 25 patients with fibrosis and emphysema were
measured in the entire lung, and the effect of inspiration and expiration was investigated. T1 …

Purpose To determine the effect of respiratory phase on the T1 values of the entire lung.
Materials and Methods We calculated T1 relaxation time on a pixel‐by‐pixel analysis of a …

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 …

In this contribution, a rapid and robust technique for quantitative T1 mapping of the human
lung is presented. Based on a series of Snapshot FLASH tomograms acquired after a single …

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 …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Most lung disease is inhomogeneously distributed but
diagnosed by global spirometry. Regional lung function might allow for earlier diagnosis …

Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients would benefit from a safe and effective tool to detect
early-stage, regional lung disease to allow for early intervention. Magnetic Resonance …

Assessment of lung effective transverse relaxation time (T2*) may play an important role in
the detection of structural and functional changes caused by lung diseases such as …

Purpose To evaluate lung water density at three different levels of lung inflation in normal
lungs using a fast gradient echo sequence developed for rapid imaging. Materials and …

Background This work is intended to demonstrate that T1 measured in the lungs depends on
the echo time (TE) used. Measuring lung T1 can be used to gain quantitative morphological …
