Objective Imaging represents an important noninvasive means to assess cystic fibrosis (CF)
lung disease, which remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. While …

“Lung perfusion” in the context of imaging conventionally refers to the delivery of blood to the
pulmonary capillary bed through the pulmonary arteries originating from the right ventricle …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the intra‐and interscan repeatability of free‐
breathing phase‐resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI in stable pediatric cystic fibrosis …

Background Pulmonary perfusion defects have been observed in patients with coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Currently, there is a need for further data on non‐contrast …

Background Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), the physiologic correlate of chronic
rejection, remains a major barrier to long-term survival following lung transplant. Biomarkers …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of monitoring the effects of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor
(ETI) therapy on lung ventilation and perfusion in people with cystic fibrosis (CF), using …

Purpose Various parameters of regional lung ventilation can be estimated using phase‐
resolved functional lung (PREFUL)‐MRI. The parameter “ventilation correlation coefficient …

Respiratory diseases are leading causes of death and disability in the world. While early
diagnosis is key, this has proven difficult due to the lack of sensitive and non-invasive tools …

Background In respiratory medicine, there is a need for sensitive measures of regional lung
function that can be performed using standard imaging technology, without the need for …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influences of gadolinium-based contrast
agents, field-strength and different sequences on perfusion quantification in Phase …
