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 …

Many apparently healthy individuals experience pulmonary gas exchange limitations during
exercise, and the term “exercise induced arterial hypoxemia”(EIAH) has been used to …

The presence of brain edema, in its various forms, is an accompanying feature of many
diseased states. Although the localized occurrence of brain edema may be demonstrated …

Purpose To evaluate lung water density at three different levels of lung inflation in normal
lungs using a fast gradient echo sequence developed for rapid imaging. Materials and …

Two 1-D phase-encode sequences for T2 mapping, namely CPMG-prepared SPRITE and
spin-echo SPI, are presented and compared in terms of image quality, accuracy of T2 …

To determine whether intense, prolonged activity can induce transient pulmonary edema,
eight highly trained male cyclists (mean±SD: age, 26.9±3.0 years; height, 179.9±5.7 cm; …

A discussion is presented of the evaluation of multiple relaxation components from water
protons in biological tissue. The principal focus is to draw attention to the way in which …

Since the lung receives the entire cardiac output, sophisticated imaging techniques are not
required in order to measure total organ perfusion. However, for many years studying lung …

Objectives To evaluate lung T2 mapping for quantitative characterization and differentiation
of ground-glass opacity (GGO), reticulation (RE) and honeycombing (HC) in usual interstitial …

Purpose: To validate a fast gradient echo sequence for rapid (9 s) quantitative imaging of
lung water. Materials and Methods: Eleven excised pig lungs were imaged with a fast GRE …
