Background Fetal cardiovascular MRI complements ultrasound to assess fetal
cardiovascular pathophysiology. Purpose To develop a free‐breathing method for …

Further, international world-renowned experts describe how MRI can be used in the clinical
setting to diagnose, characterize and quantify different lung diseases such as pulmonary …

Purpose To assess the influence of magnetic field strength and additionally of acquisition
and reconstruction parameters on the quality of high-resolution lung MRI, using a prototype …

Purpose To develop and evaluate a protocol for hyperpolarized helium-3 (HHe) ventilation
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs of non-sedated infants and children …

Purpose Magnetic resonance imaging of lungs is inherently challenging, but it has become
more common with the use of UTE sequences and their relative insensitivity to motion. Spiral …

Objectives To calculate 3D‐segmented total lung volume (TLV) in fetuses with thoracic
anomalies using deformable slice‐to‐volume registration (DSVR) with comparison to 2D …

Segmented cine MRI generally requires breath‐holding, which can be problematic for many
patients. Navigator echo techniques, particularly successful for free‐breathing coronary …

Background Ultrashort echo time (UTE) proton MRI has gained popularity for assessing lung
structure and function in pulmonary imaging; however, the development of rapid biomarker …
