Emphysema tends to be complicated by diffuse abnormalities in the pulmonary peripheral
microvasculature. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether dynamic contrast-enhanced …

Pulmonary emphysema is a pathologic condition characterized by permanently enlarged
airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole with destruction of the alveolar walls. Functional …

Background Our aim was to prospectively evaluate a semi-quantitative pulmonary perfusion
MR technique using a breath-hold 2D dynamic sequence in patients with severe pulmonary …

Purpose To assess regional differences in quantitative pulmonary perfusion parameters, ie,
pulmonary blood flow (PBF), mean transit time (MTT), and pulmonary blood volume (PBV) in …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to show the feasibility of oxygen-enhanced MR
ventilation imaging in a clinical setting with correlation to standard pulmonary function tests …

Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) describing pulmonary perfusion. However, breathing motion …

Purpose: The assessment of pulmonary perfusion using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)
MRI is still limited in the clinical routine due to the necessity of breath holding. An acquisition …

To evaluate impaired respiratory mechanics in pulmonary emphysema, dynamic breathing
magnetic resonance imaging (BMRI) was acquired with fast‐gradient echo pulse sequences …

Tissue microcirculation can be quantified by a deconvolution analysis of concentration–time
curves measured by dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. However …

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