Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung is technically challenging due to the low
proton density and fast signal decay of the lung parenchyma itself. Additional challenges …

Background MRI of the lung is recommended in a number of clinical indications. Having a
non-radiation alternative is particularly attractive in children and young subjects, or pregnant …

Purpose To evaluate the validity of different approaches to determine the signal‐to‐noise
ratio (SNR) in MRI experiments with multi‐element surface coils, parallel imaging, and …

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 …

Purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of dual energy CT in the
assessment of pulmonary perfusion with reference to pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and diagnostic value of
dual-energy CT iodine mapping at pulmonary CT angiography. SUBJECTS AND …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is capable of imaging infiltrative lung diseases as well
as solid lung pathologies with high sensitivity. The broad use of lung MRI was limited by the …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most frequent inherited disorder leading to premature death in the
Caucasian population. As life expectancy is limited by pulmonary complications, repeated …

As one recalls the 1970s and some of the first steps in magnetic resonance imaging [1]–[4], it
is easy to discern the great strides that have been made in this discipline over the past 30 …

From the first measurements of the distribution of pulmonary blood flow using radioactive
tracers by West and colleagues (J Clin Invest 40: 1–12, 1961) allowing gravitational …
