PURPOSE: To demonstrate the capability of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to assess
alteration in regional pulmonary ventilation and perfusion with animal models of airway …

Imaging of the pulmonary parenchyma represents a unique challenge for MRI. Limited
signal is caused by low proton density, susceptibility artifacts, and physiological motion …

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) perfusion imaging allows the assessment of pulmonary
blood flow in parenchyma and main pulmonary arteries simultaneously. MRI using laser …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of comprehensive magnetic
resonance (MR) assessment of pulmonary perfusion and ventilation in patients. Both oxygen …

Obstructive lung diseases include emphysema, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis. These diseases are a heterogeneous group …

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 …

Over the past few years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an important
instrument for functional ventilation imaging. The aim of this review is to summarize …

The aim of this paper is to review the present status of novel MRI techniques as a new
important instrument for functional ventilation imaging. The current status and future …

Purpose To test the hypothesis that, in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of healthy
individuals, equal relative changes in lung volume cause equal relative changes in MR …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of ventilatory impairment on MR signal intensity of the lung
parenchyma. Materials and Methods Subjects were five normal volunteers (age= 30±7.9 …
