Purpose To use a combination of helium‐3 (3‐He) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and
proton single‐shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) to compare ventilated lung volumes in groups of …

Purpose To provide a robust method for the simultaneous quantification of T1 and T2* in the
human lung during free breathing. Breathing pure oxygen accelerates T1 and T2* relaxation …

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to assess the accuracy of MRI for the determination
of lung gas and tissue volumes. Method: Fifteen healthy subjects underwent MRI of the …

Purpose This study aimed to develop a 3D MRI technique to assess lung ventilation in free‐
breathing and without the administration of contrast agent. Methods A 3D‐UTE sequence …

Purpose To investigate the exploitation of the self‐gating signal in ultrashort echo time (UTE)
two‐dimensional (2D) acquisitions of freely breathing rats to reconstruct multiple respiratory …

Objectives: To compare the image quality and lesion contrast of lung MRI using 5 different
pulse sequences at 1.5 T and 3 T. Materials and Methods: Lung MRI was performed at 1.5 T …

Materials and methods: Nine healthy volunteers underwent 2-dimensional spoiled gradient
echo imaging in coronal and sagittal planes during FVC maneuvers. An elliptical model of …

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 …

A new technique is demonstrated in six healthy human subjects that combines grid‐tagging
and hyperpolarized helium‐3 MRI to assess regional lung biomechanical function 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 …
