Inhalation of e-cigarette's aerosols (vaping) has the potential to disrupt pulmonary gas
exchange, but the effects in asymptomatic users are unknown. We assessed ventilation …

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 …

Purpose An efficient Yarnball ultrashort‐TE k‐space trajectory, in combination with an
optimized pulse sequence design and automated image‐processing approach, is proposed …

Lung parenchyma is challenging to image with proton MRI. The large air space results in∼
1/5th as many signal‐generating protons compared to other organs. Air/tissue magnetic …

Lung diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, from which four million
people die annually. Lung diseases are associated with changes in the mechanical …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a MR imaging method capable of spatially
resolving the intrinsic mechanical properties of normal lung parenchyma. We tested the …

Quantification of the mechanical properties of lung parenchyma is an active field of research
due to the association of this metric with normal function, disease initiation and progression …

Ventilation-perfusion matching occurs passively and is also actively regulated through
hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). The extent of HPV activity in humans, particularly …

The clinical imaging modalities available to investigate pediatric pulmonary conditions such
as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cystic fibrosis, and asthma are limited primarily to chest x …

We have developed a novel functional proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique
to measure regional ventilation-perfusion (V̇A/Q̇) ratio in the lung. We conducted a …
