This review focuses on the state‐of‐the‐art of the three major classes of gas contrast agents
used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—hyperpolarized (HP) gas, molecular oxygen …

Over the past few decades, pulmonary imaging technologies have advanced from chest
radiography and nuclear medicine methods to high-spatial-resolution or low-dose chest CT …

Pulmonary MRI provides structural and quantitative functional images of the lungs without
ionizing radiation, but it has had limited clinical use due to low signal intensity from the lung …

ISHLT members have recognized the importance of a consensus statement on the
evaluation and management of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary …

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 …

Purpose To quantitatively evaluate a small pilot group of ex-smokers with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy volunteers during approximately 2 years by using …

Purpose To evaluate the potential of xenon ventilation computed tomography (CT) in the
quantitative and visual analysis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials …

Lung diseases have a high prevalence amongst the world population and their early
diagnosis has been pointed out to be key for successful treatment. However, there is still a …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) involves a complex interaction of structural
and functional abnormalities. The two have long been studied in isolation. However …

Background A previous study demonstrated the feasibility of using 3D radial ultrashort echo
time (UTE) oxygen‐enhanced MRI (UTE OE‐MRI) for functional imaging of healthy human …
