Visualization of biological targets such as crucial cells and biomolecules in living subjects is
critical for the studies of important biological processes. Though 1H magnetic resonance …

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is rapidly becoming an alternative to surgery for the
treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. Lung SBRT is administered in a …

Proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently emerged as a clinical tool to image
the lungs. This paper outlines the current technical aspects of MRI pulse sequences …

Progressive lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) is the life-limiting factor of this autosomal
recessive genetic disorder. Increasing implementation of CF newborn screening allows for a …

Imaging speed, spatial resolution and availability have made CT the favored cross-sectional
imaging modality for evaluating various respiratory diseases of children—but only for the …

Therapeutic decisions in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients depend on the tumor
stage. PET/CT with 18F-FDG is widely accepted as the diagnostic standard of care. The …

While the inauguration of national low dose computed tomographic (LDCT) lung cancer
screening programs has started in the USA, other countries remain undecided, awaiting the …

Background A recent single-centre study demonstrated that MRI is sensitive to detect early
abnormalities in the lung and response to therapy in infants and preschool children with …

Background To determine the diagnostic utility of a new rapid MRI protocol, as compared
with computed tomography (CT) for the detection of various pulmonary and mediastinal …

Objectives To compare the diagnostic value of ultrashort echo time (UTE) magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) for the lung versus the gold standard computed tomography (CT) …
