Lungs are considered one of the vital organs in the human body. They continuously
experience various mechanical stresses caused by the natural physiology of breathing …

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 …

Lung stiffness changes with different diseases; in which some diseases make the lung stiffer
while others make it softer. This study was performed on 15 healthy volunteers to validate …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive imaging technique which is
becoming more commonly used in radiology departments to assess different stages of liver …

According to the American Lung Association, for the last few years, lung diseases have
become the third most common cause of death worldwide after cardiovascular disease and …

Purpose: To develop a novel MR‐based method for visualizing the elastic properties of
human lung parenchyma in vivo and to evaluate the ability of this method to resolve …

Many diseases affect pulmonary function by altering both dynamic and static lung
compliance. Conventional pulmonary testing provides an averaged estimate of overall lung …

Purpose Lung stiffness alters with many diseases; therefore, several MR elastography
(MRE) studies were performed earlier to investigate the stiffness of the right lung during …

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

Currently, the detection of pulmonary fibrosis is performed with computed tomography (CT)
scan that uses radiation. From this test, subjective morphological data, with inter and intra …
