The aim of this study was to develop a magnetic resonance (MR) sequence capable of
measuring water content and the gravity-dependent gradient in lung density in normal lung …

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 …

Purpose: To validate a fast gradient echo sequence for rapid (9 s) quantitative imaging of
lung water. Materials and Methods: Eleven excised pig lungs were imaged with a fast GRE …

The present study was designed to determine the value of nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) imaging as a technique for quantifying lung water distribution and to estimate the …

NMR imaging techniques are applicable to the assessment of lung water content and
distribution because the NMR signal is, under certain conditions, proportional to tissue …

We have developed a new analytical method that uses nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
imaging data to quantify lung water content and distribution. This new method generates a …

The purpose of this study was to validate water content measurements and to determine the
T2 distribution in lung on a 1.5 T clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. A …

Estimates of lung water content obtained from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and
morphometric and gravimetric measurements were compared in normal and experimentally …

The gravitational gradient of intrapleural pressure is suggested to be less in prone posture
than supine. Thus the gravitational distribution of ventilation is expected to be more uniform …

This review presents an overview of some recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
techniques for measuring aspects of local physiology in the lung. MRI is noninvasive …
