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 …

Pneumonia remains a major cause of childhood mortality and morbidity globally. Accurate
diagnosis and attribution of the causes of pneumonia are important for measuring the …

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 …

Imaging techniques are an essential component of the diagnostic process for interstitial lung
diseases (ILDs). Chest radiography is frequently the initial indicator of an ILD, and …

Purpose Hyperpolarized 129Xe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using Dixon‐based
decomposition enables single‐breath imaging of 129Xe in the airspaces, interstitial barrier …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of respiratory failure burden by
high hospital mortality. No specific pharmacologic treatment is currently available and its …

FEV1, measured using spirometry, provides a straightforward, widely available, and
inexpensive global measurement of airflow limitation and lung function. For decades, FEV1 …

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 …

Pediatric chest MRI is challenging. High-resolution scans of the lungs and airways are
compromised by long imaging times, low lung proton density and motion. Low signal is a …

Accurate and early detection of causes of pneumonia is important for implementing fast
treatment and preventive strategies, reducing the burden of infections, and establishing …
