Objective: To obtain T2* and proton density measurements of normal human lung
parenchyma in vivo using submillisecond echo time (TE) gradient echo (GRE) magnetic …

The objective of this study was to measure T2∗ values of the normal human lung in vivo
during breathhold using a rapid gradient-echo sequence with ultra-short echo times (TE). A …

Nonuniform disruption of lung architecture is usually assessed by CT, which carries potential
radiation risk. Here we report our use of a three‐dimensional ultrashort echo time MR …

Assessment of lung effective transverse relaxation time (T2*) may play an important role in
the detection of structural and functional changes caused by lung diseases such as …

Purpose To implement and assess the performance of three‐dimensional (3D) ultra‐short
echo (UTE) time for evaluating lung tissue density changes induced by gravity dependence …

Objective: To evaluate the utility of a half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo sequence
(HASTE) at depicting lung parenchyma and lung pathology. Methods and patients: A HASTE …

We applied the rapid imaging capability of echo planar MR pulse sequences and
hyperpolarized 3He ventilation imaging to observe the dynamic distribution of gas in the …

Signal of lung parenchymal tissue from the living rat and mouse lung was detected at 4.7 T
with a good signal‐to‐noise ratio and motion‐suppressed artifacts using a short TE gradient …

Imaging of the lungs presents a unique challenge for MR technology. Signal from lung
parenchyma is limited by low proton density, the effects of motion and susceptibility, and a …

Magnetic susceptibility gradients caused by tissue/air interfaces lead to very short T2* times
in the human lung. These susceptibility gradients are dependent on the magnetic …
