Ventilation-perfusion (V̇a/Q̇) mismatch during exercise may result from interstitial
pulmonary edema if increased pulmonary vascular pressure causes fluid efflux into the …

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses non-ionizing radiation and offers a host of
contrast mechanisms with the potential to quantify aerosol deposition. This chapter …

Purpose To demonstrate the initial feasibility of non-contrast quantitative pulmonary
perfusion imaging at 3 T using flow alternating inversion recovery (FAIR), and to evaluate …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? How does the interaction between
posture and gravity affect the stresses on the lung, particularly in highly inflated …

There is a gravitational influence on pulmonary perfusion, including in the most dependent
lung, where perfusion is reduced, termed Zone 4. Studies using xenon‐133 show Zone 4 …

PURPOSE We aimed to develop a predictive model for lung water content using ultrashort
echo time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a sponge phantom. MATERIALS …

Purpose To characterize the reversible transverse relaxation in pulmonary tissue and to
study the benefit of a quadratic exponential (Gaussian) model over the commonly used …

The role of imaging as a tool for investigating lung physiology is growing at an accelerating
pace. Looking forward, we wished to identify unresolved issues in lung physiology that might …

Objective To develope a self-gated free-breathing 3D sequence allowing for simultaneous T
1-weighted imaging and quantitative T_ 2^* T 2∗ mapping in different breathing phases in …

Purpose Novel demonstration of and tissue density estimation in infant lungs using 3D
ultrashort echo time MRI. Differences between adult and neonates with no clinical indication …
