Quantification of pulmonary edema and congestion is important to guide diagnosis and risk
stratification, and to objectively evaluate new therapies in heart failure. Herein, we review …

Background: Transient pulmonary congestion during exercise is emerging as an important
determinant of reduced exercise capacity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction …

Abstract Ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) matching, the regional matching of the flow of fresh gas
to flow of deoxygenated capillary blood, is the most important mechanism affecting the …

The gravitational gradient of intrapleural pressure is suggested to be less in prone posture
than supine. Thus the gravitational distribution of ventilation is expected to be more uniform …

Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is responsible for 40,000 deaths annually in the
United States. A hallmark of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is elevated collagen deposition …

Purpose To develop a rapid proton MR elastography (MRE) technique that can quantify the
absolute shear stiffness of lung parenchyma, to investigate the ability to differentiate …

Inhalation of e-cigarette's aerosols (vaping) has the potential to disrupt pulmonary gas
exchange, but the effects in asymptomatic users are unknown. We assessed ventilation …

Purpose An efficient Yarnball ultrashort‐TE k‐space trajectory, in combination with an
optimized pulse sequence design and automated image‐processing approach, is proposed …

Lung parenchyma is challenging to image with proton MRI. The large air space results in∼
1/5th as many signal‐generating protons compared to other organs. Air/tissue magnetic …

Lung diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, from which four million
people die annually. Lung diseases are associated with changes in the mechanical …
