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 …

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 …

Assessment of regional lung perfusion and ventilation has significant clinical value for the
diagnosis and follow‐up of pulmonary diseases. In this work a new method of non‐contrast …

Background Among the modalities for lung imaging, proton magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has been the latest to be introduced into clinical practice. Its value to replace X-ray …

Purpose This study aimed to develop a 3D MRI technique to assess lung ventilation in free‐
breathing and without the administration of contrast agent. Methods A 3D‐UTE sequence …

In the last years, imaging has played a key role in the diagnosis and monitoring and critical
illness, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Chest X-ray (CXR) and …

Pulmonary proton MRI techniques offer the unique possibility of assessing lung function and
structure without the requirement for hyperpolarization or dedicated hardware, which is …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity
and mortality worldwide. COPD is defined by irreversible airflow obstruction. It is a …

Purpose Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are
used to assess and monitor several pediatric lung diseases. It is well recognized that lung …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of different field strengths on
perfusion and ventilation parameters, SNR and CNR derived by PREFUL MRI using …
