To date, magnetic resonance (MR) is established as an imaging modality in the diagnosis of
chest diseases. Because of its excellent distinction of vessels and soft tissue, MR can be …

Purpose To measure regional specific ventilation with free-breathing hydrogen 1 (1H)
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging without exogenous contrast material and to investigate …

Recent development of MR techniques has overcome many problems, such as susceptibility
artifacts or motion artifact, allowing both static and dynamic MR lung imaging and providing …

Background MRI of the lung is recommended in a number of clinical indications. Having a
non-radiation alternative is particularly attractive in children and young subjects, or pregnant …

Purpose: beyond the pure morphological visual representation, MR imaging offers the
possibility to quantify parameters in the healthy, as well as, in pathologic lung parenchyma …

Since many pulmonary diseases present with a variable regional involvement, modalities for
assessment of regional lung function gained increasing attention over the last years …

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

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the clinical feasibility of magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging of the lungs with fast volumetric interpolated three-dimensional (3D) gradient …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used extensively to evaluate the central
nervous and musculoskeletal systems. MRI provides excellent contrast between normal and …

Rationale and Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate a method for quantifying
lung motion from the registration of successive images in serial magnetic resonance …
