Rationale and Objectives: We sought to investigate lung volume and surface measurements
during the breathing cycle using dynamic three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging …

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

Rationale and Objectives: To investigate diaphragm and chest wall motion during the whole
breathing cycle using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a volumetric model in …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The authors present their initial experience using a 3-T
whole-body scanner equipped with a 128-channel coil applied to lung motion assessment …

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to assess the accuracy of MRI for the determination
of lung gas and tissue volumes. Method: Fifteen healthy subjects underwent MRI of the …

Materials and methods: Nine healthy volunteers underwent 2-dimensional spoiled gradient
echo imaging in coronal and sagittal planes during FVC maneuvers. An elliptical model of …

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 …

In this work MRI‐based spirometry is presented as a method for noninvasively assessing
pulmonary mechanical function on a regional basis. A SPAMM tagging sequence was …

Background Non‐contrast‐enhanced 1H magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with full lung
coverage shows promise for assessment of regional lung ventilation but a comparison with …

Purpose To test the feasibility of 3D phase‐resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI in
healthy volunteers and patients with chronic pulmonary disease, to compare 3D to 2D …
