Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used in the radiotherapy workflow
because of its superior soft tissue contrast and high flexibility in contrast. In addition to …

This paper reviews recent advances in 4D medical imaging (4DMI) and 4D radiation therapy
(4DRT), which study, characterize, and minimize patient motion during the processes of …

Objectives: As pulmonary complications are life limiting in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF),
repeated chest imaging [chest x-ray, computed tomography (CT)] is needed for follow up …

Respiratory organ motion has a significant impact on the planning and delivery of
radiotherapy (RT) treatment for lung cancer. Currently widespread techniques, such as 4D …

Background Empyema is an increasingly frequent clinical problem worldwide, and has
substantial morbidity and mortality. Our objectives were to identify the clinical, surgical and …

We present a postural analysis of diaphragm function using magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). The main aim of the study was to identify changes in diaphragm motion and shape …

Background Diaphragmatic dysfunction is an important reason for dyspnea in COPD
patients. But diaphragmatic dysfunction is difficult to evaluate. Ultrasound is an option. We …

Morphological evaluation of the lung is important in the clinical evaluation of pulmonary
diseases. However, the disease process, especially in its early phases, may primarily result …

To evaluate feasibility and diagnostic quality of ultra‐short TR/TE two‐dimensional (2D)
steady state free precession (SSFP) MRI for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We performed lung …

Background Postacute Covid‐19 patients commonly present with respiratory symptoms;
however, a noninvasive imaging method for quantitative characterization of respiratory …
