Specific ventilation (SV) is the ratio of fresh gas entering a lung region divided by its end-
expiratory volume. To quantify the vertical (gravitationally dependent) gradient of SV in eight …

Multiple thoracic imaging modalities have been developed to link structure to function in the
diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. Volumetric computed tomography (CT) renders …

Purpose To investigate the use of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in the
quantitative assessment of pulmonary fibrosis by comparing quantitative shear stiffness …

Assessment of lung effective transverse relaxation time (T2*) may play an important role in
the detection of structural and functional changes caused by lung diseases such as …

Computed tomography (CT) is the current “gold standard” for assessment of lung
morphology and is so far the most reliable imaging modality for monitoring cystic fibrosis …

Purpose To test the feasibility of regional fully quantitative ventilation measurement in free
breathing derived by phase‐resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI in the supine and …

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 …

Purpose To implement and assess the performance of three‐dimensional (3D) ultra‐short
echo (UTE) time for evaluating lung tissue density changes induced by gravity dependence …

The field of proton lung MRI is advancing on a variety of fronts. In the realm of functional
imaging, it is now possible to use arterial spin labeling (ASL) and oxygen‐enhanced …

Purpose Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI depicting 3D ventilation, interstitial barrier uptake, and
transfer to red blood cells (RBCs) has emerged as a powerful new means of detecting …
