Blood perfusion in lung parenchyma is an important property for assessing lung function. In
small animals, its quantitation is limited even with radioactive isotopes or dynamic contrast …

Purpose To develop and demonstrate a breathheld 3D radial ultrashort echo time (UTE)
acquisition to visualize co‐registered lung perfusion and vascular structure. Materials and …

The global increase in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other pulmonary
diseases has stimulated interest in preclinical rat models of pulmonary disease. Imaging …

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 …

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of lung perfusion imaging using two‐dimensional
(2D) first pass perfusion MRI and a quantitation program based on model‐independent …

Purpose To evaluate a dual‐bolus approach to pulmonary perfusion MRI. Materials and
Methods The dual‐bolus approach uses a separate low‐dose measurement for the arterial …

Background Oxygen-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (OE-MRI) can be used to
assess regional lung function without ionizing radiation. Inhaled oxygen acts as a T1 …

Lung perfusion and ventilation are fundamental biological functions that hold potential as
quantitative biomarkers for advancing our comprehension and management of lung …

Since the lung receives the entire cardiac output, sophisticated imaging techniques are not
required in order to measure total organ perfusion. However, for many years studying lung …
